FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Parker's classroom raised $174

My Project

This year my students have worked incredibly hard to make progress in reading and math. This year was the first time 3rd graders participated in statewide three times during the school year, and all my students did amazing! To celebrate their amazing work and give them a well-deserved break, we're having STEM Indoor Beach party with kinetic sand, snacks, drinks, beach balls, and lots of beach fun.

The classroom will be transformed into an indoor beach with STEM challenges like constructing sand castles, Beach Ball measurement and tower, and building a floating device.

Students will engage with science and enjoy the last few days before summer vacation with summer-themed activities and games. These activities make learning fun, create lasting memories, and give students ways to take the learning home.
