My Project

I have an amazing group of second graders. They are extremely creative and love to use their imaginations.

According to a January 26, 2018 article, "STEM is important because it teaches critical thinking skills and instills a passion for innovation.

Beyond the benefit of learning science, technology, engineering, and math, STEM assists in the problem-solving and exploratory learning that fuel success across a variety of tasks and disciplines.

I would love to create STEM bins so my students have access to educational materials. We have Fun Fridays and almost all of my students choose to build. These materials would be much appreciated.
