STEM Focus

Help me give my students comfy floor seating and STEM resources so they can focus their learning and keep their brains, and hands, busy learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Snyder's classroom raised $409

This project is fully funded

My Project

My scholars are each special and unique. They are kind, sweet, silly, and full of questions. There are 27 scholars in my class and with that, comes a lot of personality and a lot of busy bodies.

The items being requested will help my scholars focus.

The soft cushions and flexible seats will allow them to get out of their chairs and complete work with more comfort.

The STEM items will give them something to keep their brains active and their hands busy and will make indoor recess more productive.

In our classroom, we try to make every moment a learning experience.
