Before the winter break I challenged my students with a small STEM activity and their creations were amazing. They were critically thinking and creating, while socializing in a focused way. I want to provide them with more of these opportunities so that they explore the fields of science, technology, engineering and math through their creativity.
These STEM activities will provide hands-on and minds-on learning for the students. Making math and science both fun and interesting helps the student to do much more than just learn.
I'm requesting LEGOS, Magnetic Blocks, Molecules, and Brain Flakes that will be paired with task cards for students to create different structures, or objects. These materials will also be used during free creative time where students can create based on their own imaginations. I have also requested straw builders where students will be able to build larger structures such as houses, forts, buildings and more! The storage containers I requested will help the students keep the materials organized and keep them easily accessible.
Teaching STEM in elementary grades opens the door for students to become tomorrow’s movers and shakers. The students in my class are our future engineers, microbiologists, mathematical technicians and beyond. They deserve to have these opportunities to explore!
