STEM Exploration!

Help me give my students the ability to explore with these great STEM activities. We will use the Light Cube to explore x-rays and see a different way to count and sort using the Light Accessory Kit.

My Students

I teach wonderful and bright 5 and 6-year-old students who are learning through play. I have introduced many play-based activities that follow our standards and get the students involved in so many fun and exciting activities.

My students are learning through developmentally appropriate activities.

They are bright, funny, smart, and learning on different levels. Allowing flexibility is a great way for them to succeed. They inspire me each and every day and for that, I love what I do.

My Project

My students have the chance to explore in more ways than they already do. With adding the Light Cube, Light Accessory Kit, Magna Tiles, and a Measuring Kit, my class will enjoy creating so many creations in the classroom!

Exploring with x-rays when they are doctors, dinosaur bones when they are archaeologists, and can creating 3-D buildings with the Magna Tiles as a construction worker is a great way to see their imagination at work.

These activities are centered on exploration and creativity. Allowing this in the classroom will get their imaginations flowing!
