With the funding, I was able to purchase a few new learning tools that were used to further advance our science and social studies curriculum along with engaging the students with more hands-on learning activities.

A variety of STEM and learning activity kits were purchased. A few of the favorites include the "Force and Motion" kit and the "Build Your Own Robot" kit. The “Force and Motion” kit has been a favorite with the students as they are able to create different angles and weights to see how far and how fast they can get from point A to point B. Another one of the class's favorite learning tools that I purchased was a “Build Your Own Robot” kit. The students enjoy making new creations and driving the robot around. I have witnessed more engagement in the learning process including learning about motion, balance, and what simple machines can do. Watching the team building and teamwork skills that are being developed along with openness to new ideas and overall excitement to learning and discovering something new is exactly what I had hoped to achieve.

The kits are used for science and social studies lessons but the students enjoy using them so much, that they choose to use them during indoor recess and free choice time. I believe that learning through play is one of the best ways to introduce and keep students engaged and truly one of the best forms of education! I have had students love the kits so much that they have gone home and aked their families to purchase the kits as gifts to continue learning and playing at home.

I am truly thankful for the financial support that was received to purchase these items to continue to teach and help our students flourish as the next generation. Thank you!
