Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, OH MY! Kinder STEM
My students need a STEM bundle and Fairy Tales Problem Solving STEM kits for learning.
FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Morgan's classroom raised $628

My Students
My classroom is full of energetic kindergarten children who are military dependents. Many of them have parents who are deployed or who have been wounded in action as our school is situated on a military installation. My classroom also serves students with a wide range of abilities so I strive to provide a loving, supportive, and safe place each day through my classroom for all of my students. I encourage a lot of movement in the classroom because brain-based whole body activities propel them further toward success while engaging them in their learning! I also work to take them on additional field trips and provide learning experiences outside the 4 walls of our classroom. Wouldn't you love to learn like that?
My Project
With the STEM Bundle Kit and Fairy Tales STEM resource from Lakeshore, my young students will be able to problem-solve, work cooperatively, make deep connections, and solidify learning by completing hands-on challenges. The addition of these materials to our classroom will allow my littles opportunities to engage in deep thinking, challenging activities that are geared especially for their young minds.
"All students need challenge and hard fun that inspires them to dig deeper and construct big ideas.
Making science hands-on and interesting is not pandering to young sensibilities; it honors the learning drive and spirit that is all too often crushed by endless worksheets and vocabulary drills." (Making Matters)
In addition to STEM skills, my students will be learning and improving upon valuable skills such as creativity, problem solving, cooperation, and communication; all of which are vital for success in the real world, no matter which career path they choose to follow in the future.
Donations to this project will improve my classroom by allowing students more options and variety in both independent and group Makerspace tasks. My students are energetic, bright, and passionate five and six year-olds. They love to learn through play, books, technology, and, most importantly, each other. It is amazing how much knowledge they can bring into the classroom and how much they learn throughout the year. These STEM resources will further the conversations and experiences focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math skills!
