Wiggles, Wobbles, and Wonder: Learning Through Movement and STEM
Help me give my students hands-on tools like a tug-of-war rope, wobble board, and magnetic blocks to support active learning, teamwork, and creative exploration in the classroom.
In our classroom, learning is active, hands-on, and full of discovery! My students come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring with them a beautiful diversity of learning styles and needs. To support every learner—whether they thrive through movement, need sensory input to focus, or benefit from building and creating with their hands—I’m seeking engaging tools that make learning come alive.
Imagine a classroom where students cheer each other on during a tug of war, balance their bodies to refocus their minds, and build magnetic masterpieces while solving STEM challenges together.
That’s the environment your support can help create. This project includes a tug-of-war rope, wobble board, magnetic blocks, and a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card—each chosen with the purpose of supporting physical development, collaboration, and academic growth.
• The tug-of-war rope promotes teamwork, gross motor development, and self-regulation through energizing play.
• The wobble board provides vital sensory input to help students with attention and body awareness.
• The magnetic blocks offer opportunities for imaginative problem-solving and engineering exploration.
• The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to provide differentiated, inclusive materials that meet my students’ unique academic and behavioral needs.
With your generosity, we can create a classroom where every student—no matter their learning style or ability—feels empowered to move, think, create, and succeed.
