My students need STEM activities such as marble runs, magnetic sets, and gears to help them boost their creativity and problem solving skills while learning to collaborate.
I am always looking for new and innovative ways to meet each and every one of my students' diverse learning styles. One way I do that, is by having a large selection of texts for students to choose from.
Many of my fifth grade students might not have an abundance of financial resources, but what they do have is an abundance of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, especially when it involves reading.
My students are very diverse learners. Recent test scores shows them at various levels, with some well below grade level, while others are scoring high above grade level norms. Some of them need additional support to learn the English language, and some of them need additional support to become strong mathematicians.
My Project
All of the items requested in this project are STEM related. The marble run, magnet sets, strategy games, gear sets, snap circuits, and wooden blocks will be set up in learning labs for students to investigate during morning work. The STEM learning labs will provide my students with not only hands-on materials, but also the opportunity to work collaboratively. My students will be challenged to think critically, as they develop problem solving skills which are very important for the 21st century learner. These learning labs will challenge the most advanced students by allowing them to create such things as roller coasters and devices to test out Newton's law of motion and electrical currents.
Your support of this project will change the lives of my students forever.
With kind and supportive donors like you, my students will be able to learn and understand the importance of STEM. Your generous contribution will be greatly appreciated, and it will have a huge impact on my students. Thank you for considering my proposal.
