Mrs. S. from Albany NY is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Super STEM Students

My students need STEM items to move into the 21st century. Focusing on math and science, I want to give my class a head start at being critical thinkers and creators and further engage curiosity.

My Students

I teach in an inner city school in upstate NY. The children at this grade level are sponges that are always eager to learn and explore new things!

I will have approximately 23 Kindergarten students coming from a variety of different economic backgrounds, 100% of which receive free lunch.

This year I will have 14 ENL students who speak a variety of languages. I am so excited to begin engaging my new class! I wish to help them move into the 21century by providing a classroom rich in engaging, hands on materials

My Project

Children at this grade level are curious and motivated to learn. With the incorporation of the requested materials, I will be able to provide hands-on, engaging materials which will stimulate the learning of my class.

My goal this year is to create a STEM rich atmosphere in which both boys and girls are given the opportunity to engage in critical thinking and and take risks to become problem solvers and to create their own masterpieces.

These items will provoke curiosity and excitement. Through play, children will work in cooperative groups to become leaders and critical thinkers. I am especially excited to provide these resources for my ENL learners who will be able to engage and create without the language barrier.
