My Project

These STEM products, I have selected will help my students experience, engage, and understand the world around them in a different way. Many of my students never leave their neighborhood. I want my students to see beyond their neighborhood and develop a natural curiousity and desire to explore the world around them. By engaging my students with these various hands on learning kits and the Reading and Writing Folder. It will equip them with the skills and mindset to be life long learners and to thrive in the 21st century and beyond.
