My Project

Using STEM in the classroom is so important, especially in the lower elementary grades. Students at a young age need to have many opportunities to explore, work and collaborate with one another in an environment where they do not feel that they can't make a mistake.

By incorporating STEM into a classroom on a consistent basis, students will develop key skills at an early age that will cultivate problem solving, creativity, critical thinking, innovation, and confidence.

All students can succeed!

I plan to use these items in our STEM morning block when students arrive first thing in the mornings. These two items will really add to our STEM block so well! Thank you for considering this wonderful addition to our classroom.
