Stem Math and Science in Fifth Grade

Help me give my students the best stem math and science classroom. We are a stem academy and need stem kits and dry erase boards to ensure the kids get the best experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hensley's classroom raised $708

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are hardworking students who come from a background that have never had exposure to stem. My classroom is predominately children of color and they all receive free lunch.

Being able to explore hands on math and science activities and make the classroom as interactive as possible will increase their likelihood of wanting to explore careers in stem.

Being able to look through microscopes, and explore what they see, will put the biggest smiles on their faces. Most students are hands on learners and these supplies will increase their likelihood chances of their success.
