Steam Materials Bring Learning to Life

Help me give my students masking tape, plates, and cups to bring learning to life through steam.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Windholz's classroom raised $166

My Project

In our classroom, kids are challenged to problem solve and create solutions. This creative thinking leads them into hands on projects were they are planning, creating, experimenting and improving designs. In this process some materials get used a lot! I'm looking to restock tape, cups and plates so we can continue this engaging learning.

Please help us restock some of our most used steam items.

This year we have been focusing on change and continuity during our reading comprehension time. We have learned about the Revolutionary War, colonization, immigration, Westward expansion and so much more. Then, during STEAM time (science) we use our prior learning to create cover wagons, steam boats, cotton mills, bridges, Native American homes, games from colonial times and the list goes on. This helps cement their learning into their long term memory.

Thank you for your consideration into funding my projects. My students are grateful for people like you that support their learning.
