My Project

5th grade is a crucial year for students to expand their critical thinking. By incorporating STEM centers, using the LEGO bricks, magnetic tiles and other items, students will be able to explore new ways to build. This will incorporate a new way to work together with others, they will have to use teamwork to make their materials work together to be successful.

STEM centers will challenge the 5th grade to think outside of the box to work together to reach a common goal.

We know that using STEM centers will be a great addition to the 5th-grade curriculum, and we appreciate your donation. We look forward to sharing pictures of how we incorporate these centers in the classroom.
