My Project

When looking in my classroom, you will see the smiling faces of students who are creative, hard working, and ready to take on challenges! As a STEM specialist, I see each class of students in Pre-K though 5th grade. All of my students love learning about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math!

This project is requesting a TPT fund that will allow me to have the flexibility to provide my students with engaging STEM lessons that will help them to develop their critical thinking skills, problem-solving, creativity, and much more.

TPT lessons come with everything needed, including print outs for planning, data collection, reflections, and rubrics. I have used this platform for years and have always been impressed with the quality of their STEM resources!

As we enter our coding and robotics unit I plan to use TPT funds for various coding floor mazes that students will code their robot to navigate through! Each grade level will have differentiated mazes that reinforce grade level science skills (Ex: 5th grade may code the path through an ecosystem). I also plan to use the funds to provide my kindergarten and first grade students with STEM centers focused on engineering skills!

Thank you for any contribution that you may make to this project! Our school is located in a small rural community, so donors like you make a real difference in bringing my students a meaningful and rigorous STEM program!
