My Project

We have a few fun STEAM and crafting activities for our culminating projects this year. We are very excited to be creating taco food trucks, handprint pillowcases, and CBG Extravaganza projects resembling the Shark Tank concept.

Building, Thinking, Creating, Collaborating...all the fun!

My students love learning and can't wait to dig into a new project or activity. With these supplies, they will be able to paint, design, and invent whatever they can imagine. It's truly a blast watching them learn and discover as they work together problem solving and creating.
