Picture Perfect STEM: Books to Inspire Investigations
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My students often face a lot of challenges, not only academically, but socially as well. They are original thinkers and enjoy hands-on learning and activities with movement.
Our public elementary school in Indianapolis faces the daily challenge of educating and motivating students that live well within the poverty level.
Our students are very active learners. They love when we have flexible seating options, STEAM projects, and a choice of tasks within their daily routine. They work best in a flexible, yet structured, environment.
My Project
Next year, I will be the STEM teacher for grades 1-6. Last year, I completed an online STEM training titled Picture Perfect STEM. In addition to providing STEM lesson plans, the training provided some valuable insight into the teaching of STEM concepts by integrating picture books and nonfiction books with STEM investigations. The requested items will support those STEM investigations for first graders.
Please help me to provide my students children's books that support STEM concepts.
The materials in this request will support science investigations about sound, habitats, trees, and matter. The books will also support investigations about robots and how they are inspired by animals. Thank you for your support!
