STEM-TASTIC First Grade Fun!

Help me give my students play-dough, lego building sets and bubble wands in order to develop their small motor skills and creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rotole's classroom raised $500

My Project

Building inspires creativity and is the foundation of so many STEM skills. My students are developing their fine motor skills through the use of manipulative's such as model magic play dough, lego building sets and calming brain break bubbles. The building kits will give them a chance to work independently and cooperatively while having fun.

I want to incorporate Play-Doh and Lego Building Sets into our daily learning experience in order to develop our young learners creativity, small motor and literacy skills.

Your kind donations will make a tremendous difference in all of my students' academic lives. Thank you for your support!
