My Project
I love the curiosity of 5 and 6-year-olds! That's why I have taught them for 27 years! In recent years, I have become more engaged in STEM projects because of my own 2 children who LOVE STEM! My class of kinders are allowed to manipulate and create with magnets, dough, building tiles, etc, during the time that we call "learning stations". Students are given cards with real pictures showing them ideas on how to create with the materials at them. I take pictures, and my principal puts them on our school social media page. The parents love it!! Thank you for taking the time to read about my projects and students! My students ROCK!
