STEM In 3rd Grade

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rivera's classroom raised $636

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students love getting the chance to be creative and these hands on activities will help my student develop a variety of skills such as creativity and 21st century skills. The buidling sets, building blocks, linking cubes, and tiles will help my student to learn teamwork, problem solving. And also encourages experimentation. The storage bins will be used to help us keep our stem materials organized in our classroom. I will also use the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to access any necessary materials that will benefit my students in expanding their knowledge in science and math.
