My Project

My students love hands on activities and building things. The STEM and building activities I have chosen will help foster this love, and will help promote creativity and problem solving. The mini flashlights will be used for flashlight reading, which will be a fun new way to practice their reading skills!

All of these activities will give my students some fun, new choices for inside recess and for early finishers.

It will be a wonderful addition to our classroom. I can't wait to see all of the things they create!
