My Project

I believe having STEM activities, games, and toys is a great resource for students to use for soft starts after morning work.

Students can use the Lakeshore STEM kit to work together as a classroom community and think of creative ways to construct.

Students can use the STEM Exploration kit to be inquisitive after morning work, to use as a soft start in substitute of screen time. My third graders love kinesthetic activities and these resources would be a dream for them!

Not only are they hard-working, they love to learn and try new things. They love rigorous challenges and would thrive on STEM-centered activities such as the Wacky Wheels STEM kit. I am certain that they would even choose to play with these STEM games during recess and fun Fridays!
