We Need STEM Bins

Help me give my students geology specimen sets, LEGO bricks, and other STEM supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Norris's classroom raised $639

This project is fully funded

My Project

The LEGO bricks, "5-Minute Builds" book, paper, tangrams, and pixel activities will be used to set up STEM bins to get our mornings off to a fun and engaging start. The slide puzzles and peg games will also help my students build stamina and perseverance. Beginning the day with a problem-solving challenge or a artistic creation will set the tone for a day of thinking and active participation. The rock specimen sets and binders will be used in class, and they will also benefit our science olympiad team as we prepare for academic competition.

With your help, my students will learn that a challenging task can also be fun.

Thank you for considering our project.
