The Dream STEAM Team

Help me give my students exciting STEAM activities that will promote creativity and collaborative skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sonsalla's classroom raised $353

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to learn through playing games and cooperating with others. This new project would provide a variety of materials such as magnetic blocks and marble runs for my students to use to design and build new worlds. I love providing my students with a wide range of manipulatives and toys to play with and learn from, and you could help me do that!

This project will provide a large variety of entertaining and fun building and imaginative play materials!

I am hoping that with this project my students will get excited about learning new engineering concepts and new science units.
