My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They love science and math and have enjoyed Project Based Learning activities where they collaborate with classmates to solve problems.

As well as enjoying STEM-focused activities, my first grade students also love to read, and have recently enjoyed our study of fairytales and fables.

I enjoy their creativity when asking them to create different endings to common fairy tales.

My Project

These Lakeshore Learning kits come with STEM-focused story cards, building materials, and lesson plans and support for the teacher and students. There are a total of six kits. These problem-solving STEM kits will help students engineer happier endings to fairy tales.

Through STEM activities, students will design a house for the three little pigs that can't be blown down, construct a bridge that helps the three billy goats safely cross the river, build a chair that Goldilocks can't break, and help other fairy tale characters in three other well-loved fairy tales.

Your help in funding these fun activities that integrate literacy and engineering, is appreciated! They are sure to be a hit in my classroom!
