FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McGrady's classroom raised $557

My Project

My students this year are truly special. Their eagerness to learn and push themselves is what makes this year one of the best. Every day, they try their hardest to accomplish the goals that they set for themselves. They use a variety of classroom resources that aid in their learning.

The materials I'm requesting will help bring my classroom STEM corner to life.

These materials, such as the Govee rope light, will allow for the STEM corner to be changed in a variety of colors while students are exploring various materials. The headphones will be used to help cancel out noise from the iPads used to complete online science activities. The calendar will be used as a visual aid so that students can keep track of science workshop days. The hands on STEM activities, such as the magnetic building blocks, and STEM marble runners, will allow students to use their imagination and bring their creations to life. All these resources will be put to great use in our classroom STEM corner.
