STEM Gingerbread Houses Project

Help me give my students a Gingerbread House kit for a Christmas STEM experience that will brighten their winter season!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roses's classroom raised $503

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal for this project is to give my students a Christmas STEM project so that they are able to work together collaboratively to make this seasonal project. The students will read books from our classroom and school library, learn science vocabulary based on the different seasons, and learn how Christmas is celebrated in other parts of the world. With this project, students will be able to bring together their prior learning and create a project that students are able to build and take home. This will be extremely special to my newcomers because they will be able to create a seasonal tradition that they have not experienced before.

Collaborating in elementary school offers numerous benefits that enhance students' social, emotional, and academic development.

When children work together on projects or group activities, they learn essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. This collaborative environment encourages them to share diverse perspectives and ideas, fostering critical thinking and creativity. Additionally, working with peers helps build confidence and nurtures relationships, creating a sense of community within the classroom. Students also become more accountable for their contributions, as they learn the importance of supporting one another to achieve common goals. Overall, collaboration not only enriches the learning experience but also prepares students for future social interactions and cooperative endeavors.

STEM education in elementary schools provides numerous benefits that lay a strong foundation for students' future learning and problem-solving skills. By integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into hands-on, experiential learning, students engage in critical thinking and creativity from a young age. This approach encourages curiosity and exploration, allowing children to understand complex concepts through real-world applications. Additionally, STEM education promotes collaboration as students often work in teams to solve challenges, fostering communication skills and teamwork.
