My Project

Our classroom needs more STEM resources!

Exposing children to STEM at a young age supports their overall academic growth and develops early thinking and reasoning skills.

In the early grades, STEM activities are based on curiosity, inquiry, and play. Our kids don't always have a lot of time for play at school but these kits will be great for small groups/indoor recess and for those students who are dropped off earlier than others in the morning. My students love using the few items that we already have in the classroom. My students are very creative and love to explore new things. These magnetic tiles, building blocks, and STEM kits will allow them to unleash even more creativeness.
