Help me give my students engaging STEM bins and board games to foster hands-on learning, critical thinking, and collaboration during indoor recess.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romero's classroom raised $508
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am inspired by my students' creativity and enthusiasm for learning. Each resource I am requesting will enhance their experiences, especially during indoor recess on rainy or extremely hot days.
STEM bins will provide hands-on learning opportunities that promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
These bins contain engaging materials that teach math, engineering, and physics in a fun way. The board games will encourage teamwork and social interaction, making indoor recess an exciting time for growth.
My goal is to create a stimulating environment where students can learn through play, even when outdoor recess isn’t possible. What makes my students special is their resilience and positive attitude toward challenges. By providing these resources, I can ensure their indoor experiences are filled with opportunities for growth.
Thank you for considering supporting this project to enrich my classroom!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
