My Project

The STEM supplies, such as the seed to plant kits, will develop my students' curiosity, voice, and character for science. My first graders will be asking questions and searching for answers! A hands-on learning approach in a nutshell! They will be finding answers, while having fun! The students will be discovering different types of plant life and how they are an important part of our ecosystem. This project will inspire them to strength their learning! They will develop their own questions and answers! This project will build interest and excitement in our classroom. The students will become a scientist in their own mind, searching for answers, using creativity and higher-level thinking! These supplies, such as the magnifiers and science viewers, are a critical component for STEM learning! When the students are thinking outside the box, this builds character, self-esteem, and a thirst for discovering new things. The STEM supplies are a game changer!
