My students need two Osmo Genius Kits and items for their STEM Bins to help facilitate their creative and problem solving skills to prepare them for real world experiences.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. ~~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
We, as teachers, are always looking for innovative ways to bring creativity and problem solving skills into the classroom.
I work in a Second Grade classroom with 28 students. All of my children have their own learning needs. Although my students are diverse, I still have the expectation for all to succeed. The goal is to find the best way, as an educator, to facilitate their successes. As a teacher, I am continuously striving to create problem solvers, communicators, along with good citizens. This is why I believe setting up Stem Bins in my classroom would be a true benefit to their learning.
My Project
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. By using STEM in the classroom, students will have the opportunity to increase their critical thinking skills in a variety of learning centers. I am requesting two Osmo Genius Kits as well as items for STEM bins including two sets of Magnetic Building Blocks, a Snap Circuits Electronics Discovery Kit, Play-Do, craft sticks, and storage boxes.
My students will be using hands-on experiences to help them problem solve and create using a variety of materials.
My children will love to work with materials to stimulate their learning in an authentic experience.
They will use these centers during both reading and math centers in the classroom on a daily basis. These centers will support the learning that is happening in the classroom by providing experiences for critical thinking. Children love learning in a variety of ways and these centers will stimulate higher thinking learning opportunities.
