My Project

In my classroom, students are fully immersed in the world of science. I teach students in PreK-5th and meet with each grade, daily. Students use stem materials, such as LEGOS, Magnatiles, and Unifex Cubes to allow their creativity to meet with their curiosities of science. In our classroom, students are challenged and motivated to become true scientists, even at the youngest age of 4 years old.

With your generous donations, I will be able to provide my students with a quality hands-on science education.

I plan on using the donated materials, such as LEGOS, to create marble mazes with my students. My students are most successful best when they are active and learning hands-on, help me give my students this opportunity!
