Jotham W Wakeman School 6 (Jersey City, NJ) – Grades PreK-2
Help give my students STEM materials that will help my active and engaging learners develop conceptual thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our students are 4-5 years old. They are just beginning their scholastic career, and I want them to develop a LOVE of learning this year that will stay with them for years! They are vibrant and energetic. They love to learn through playing, cooperating, and exploring. They love hands-on activities.
My students are active knowledge seekers and these STEM materials will open so many new areas for them to explore and learn. They will develop problem-solving skills, practice spatial reasoning, coding skills, and obtain first-hand practice with STEM concepts.
Many of our students come from low-income homes and they are so excited to be a part of a growing, exciting environment every day when they come to school. On the first day of school, one little girl told me how when she grows up she wants to help people. She didn’t know how, she just knew she wanted everyone to be happy. I would love for her to have the opportunity to begin this career starting as young as 4!
