My Project

I teach an incredible group of young learners who are full of curiosity and excitement for hands-on discovery. They thrive when given opportunities to explore, build, and solve problems through play. My goal is to provide engaging STEM experiences that develop critical thinking, creativity, and foundational math and science skills.

The resources I’m requesting will make learning interactive and fun.

The Mental Blox Critical Thinking Game will challenge students to analyze patterns, build structures, and improve spatial reasoning, while the Frog Balance Counting Toy will provide a hands-on way to explore numbers and early math concepts. The Mini Bowling Game Sets will enhance fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination, and playfully introduce basic physics. Additionally, the Wooden Shape Puzzles & Pattern Cards will promote problem-solving and early engineering skills, helping students recognize patterns and shapes. The Hand Drums will help students learn about sound. These tools will allow my students to engage with STEM in ways that are both educational and enjoyable, fostering confidence in their problem-solving abilities.

My students are naturally curious and eager to learn. Many of them thrive with hands-on activities, and I want to ensure they have the tools they need to succeed. By providing these engaging STEM resources, I hope to spark a lifelong love of learning and inspire future innovators.
