My Project

I have chosen activcities that can stimulate the engineering and problem solving schemas of all of my students.

All children love to build and create!

However, due to resources, curriculum demands and required lesson componenets I do not have time to incorporate these into daily tasks with which students can work independently but alas there are always rainy days with indoor recess!

I am looking to provide my students with more support using these STEM related materials to encourage them instead to not only expand their thinking but as an amazing release of energy during rainy days when we are stuck inside. We are located in a movile classroom outside with restrictive amounts of room but these STEM activities would work perfectly with our limited space and excessive energy!
