STEM and Sports

Help me give my students outdoor sports equipment for reward time, and cordless hot glue guns for my STEM class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Knierim's classroom raised $243

My Project

I teach 5 sections of classes including 7th grade Science, 8th Grade Science, and STEM. All of my classes do a lot of hands-on projects using a wide range of materials. We live in Phoenix where the weather is usually nice enough outside for a quick 10-minute brain break when the students just need to move.

Rewarding students with short outdoor rewards helps them be motivated to stay on task and complete assignments.

We would love to have some of our own outdoor equipment without begging and borrowing from PE.

I am also asking for a few cordless hot glue guns to help my STEM students be a little more mobile in their projects.
