LAST CALL FOR 2018-2019 YEARBOOKS
DONATIONS NEEDED
STEM CLASS DONATIONS NEEDED
Our STEM classes have started the year off with a unanimous favorite activity, the marble roller coaster. It has been amazing to see all the new ideas and creations they have come up with.
Our goal is to teach the students that they can create things using everyday materials around the house...even items that would normally be recycled. We would like to have a variety of materials on hand so that the children can be creative in their designs and try different materials and methods, but we need your help.
Please see the attached letter for a list of items that would be useful for our STEM lessons. If you have any of these spare items around your home, we will gladly take them off of your hands to enhance our student STEM learning. These items can be sent to school labeled STEM Class or Mrs. Erica Barrios. For more information, please email Mrs. Barrios at ebarrios@iccschool.org.
