Help me give my students opportunities to explore, experiment and create using a variety of materials. Alongside natural critical thinking, STEM activities and lessons naturally encourage students to think creatively and try unique solutions.
I am a teacher at the Friendship School public magnet school of 3, 4 & 5 year olds. Half of our student population is from the city of New London. My class is very enthusiastic about building! I would like to provide them with new materials that will challenge their problem solving skills, help to build social skills and allow them to express their creativity. Over the years pieces from various sets of building materials have been broken or lost. Alongside natural critical thinking, STEM activities and lessons naturally encourage students to think creatively and try unique solutions.
More than half of students from low‑income households
