STREAM Materials

Help me give my students fresh new STREAM bins for our classroom. I am also trying to restock some consumable materials. The storage bins I am asking for will help store new materials and replace old bins.

My Project

As an educator working with a diverse group of students with unique abilities, I engage with over 350 young minds on a weekly basis. These curious learners possess a deep passion for exploring the intricacies of the world around them while unraveling the mysteries of how things function.

I am seeking support to obtain various STEAM/STEM materials that will enable 350 young learners to delve into a multitude of educational standards through hands-on experiences.

Specifically, the owl pellets will allow the students to investigate the food chain by uncovering the contents of an owl's diet. Additionally, the bins I am requesting will serve as essential storage solutions, ensuring easy access for both teachers and students alike.

My aim is to provide my students with numerous tactile and realistic learning opportunities. To illustrate, during our study of cave-dwelling creatures, I transformed my classroom into a simulated cave, enriching our exploration of these fascinating animals.

I express my gratitude on behalf of my students and myself for any generous contributions made towards this endeavor. Your support will truly make a difference in the lives of these enthusiastic learners.
