My Project

We have STEM Wednesdays and we either build items and or play and create with STEM supplies. We have been working on our direction skills, the rubiks cube game will be a great addition to our activities.

We like watching the students work together creatively.

I love the books that I have added which helps give new ideas for projects for our students.

We want to make friendship bracelets for our friendship week next month on one of our Wednesdays. We are also working on fractions and I found some games that might help the kids learn their fractions in a fun way. Last but not least my students love to do their brainstorming in our class library. When they are in the library they love sitting in our bean bag chairs. I would love to have enough for a whole group. I also added some calming strips to use when they are getting frustrated when their projects don't work out they way they wanted.
