My Project

The items I have selected promote critical thinking skills to enhance Stem and Problem Solving in the classroom. These items are group and individual tasks to push the average learner and enhance the gifted and talented students’ critical thinking. Students can use STEM kits for hands on discovery and group games for collaborative learning and anticipatory thought processes. These items encourage students to think outside of the box and apply learned skills to hands on games and tasks.

My 2nd grade classroom needs engagement and enrichment.

They need a break from textbooks and the need to discover hands on learning. A goal for my students is to engage collaboratively in problem based learning and project based learning to solve real life problems.

Please help my classroom’s dreams come true by supporting higher cognitive thinking in second grade!

Mrs. Jenkins
Grades PreK-2
