My Project
Integrating Eric Carle’s books with hands-on STEM activities will spark curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving in my kindergarten students. Through playdough, paper plates, and seeds, they will explore life cycles, patterns, engineering, and scientific observation in a meaningful way. My goal is to foster a love for learning, critical thinking, and teamwork while making STEM accessible and engaging. My students are special because they bring wonder, imagination, and unique perspectives to every lesson. By connecting literature with STEM, I will nurture their natural curiosity and help them develop foundational skills that will support their lifelong learning journey.
