My Project

This order will help in a variety of different ways. The mints and lifesavers are for engaging students’ minds and to help them focus on district and state testing. The breakfast items will provide the students with something nutritious for breakfast or lunch who otherwise would not have eaten all day. The STEM kits are for the end of the year celebration. The STEM kits from the past were shared in groups to promote cooperative learning. The speaker kits will allow each student in the Critical Thinking class to have their own project to complete and keep - something I know they will enjoy!
