Summer STEM Engagement

Help me give my students some summer activities to stay engaged in their learning & still have fun!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Waldbaum's classroom raised $184

My Project

We've done so much this school year. The kiddos have been working diligently on their numbers, letters, names, calendars, etc. I want their work to be noticed & even encouraged into the summer!

This project has a variety of summer activities for the children.

There are Pete the Cat books about the beach, which we live very close by, so the students can relate to this theme. There are bubbles for the students to practice their fine motor skills (as they're spill-safe). There are even some fun kites to make & get creative with. They can do this on a rainy day then take it out the next day and see how the wind works! There are also some sensory-style balls for them to play with and even practice counting with an adult to see how many times they can throw it back and forth.

These are going to be fun, engaging summer activities that still instill a love for learning across all environments & seasons!
