Help me give my students new materials to use on our STEAM projects in class! We go through a lot of colored pencils and markers throughout the semester!
Students from my area are indeed special. They love to be active, hands-on, and engaged in their classes. Most of our students live a low-income lifestyle and do not have access to many things that others may take for granted. Over 50% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunches. These students love learning and experiencing new things, especially in the STEM fields. Our students now have the opportunity to experience Engineering and Robotics from grades 5-12. Our hope is to encourage students to break out of stereotypes and be able to change both their own lives as well as the community in which they live.
My Project
Students love having new materials to work with. It seems that when you have those vivid and new art supplies the ideas just come more easily. We use a ton of paper, colored pencils, markers, and other art supplies throughout the semester in my classes.
Having good art and drawing supplies is a great benefit when you are completing a STEAM project!
I love to provide my students the benefits of these items but they don't always work great by this time of the year. I would love to refresh the STEAM cabinet supplies so all of my students get the same benefit as the ones from the beginning of the year!
