Ms. Marshall from Rumford ME is requesting Educational Kits & Games through DonorsChoose, the #1 classroom funding site for teachers.

We Love to Build: STEM in First!

My students need materials to enrich our learning experience through STEM - Interlocking disks, a marble run, and building blocks sets!

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 come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Almost all of my students would say that our classroom library is their favorite place in our room; it is where we gather to share successes and findings from our reading.

I treat each book, read aloud, and share as a gift, and make sure my students see my own love of literature to help inspire them as readers.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are!

My Project

My students are creative and active engineers who absolutely love to build. I am constantly amazed at what they are able to do imagine independently; the only thing that ever stands in their way is access to materials! We have the perfect surface for a marble run, and our cardboard tube supplies quickly become damaged every year with frequent use. These durable marble run pieces would be the perfect solution and ensure all students could build and create all year!

The Lakeshore block kits and the building disks will help provide enriching experiences for students to plan, design, and create from their imaginations!

I am thrilled that these kits and supplies were designed, as I think they will be a perfect fit in my classroom. Additionally, I think students will enjoy utilizing them with other supplies and materials that we have handy to envision new creations!

Having recently attended and facilitated a 3-D learning pathway for Science and Engineering practices, I know that these materials will go a long way towards helping my students achieve their goals and standards. Thank you for your support in considering our project!
