💡Hands On Activities - STEAM - Robotics - Technology - Project Based Learning
I have been teaching since 2011. Previously, I taught technology for grades 5th and 6th, 3rd and 4th grade homeroom, and self-contained special education.
My student load is a hefty one, 250 students a week in four different grade levels. It is difficult to photocopy large packets & use new materials each week. Instead, I must use simple, low-prep activities that still incorporate these foundational skills.
I know there are many educators in the same position as me, which has inspired me to share my activities on TPT in 2019. I hope your students benefit from these activities just as much as mine do!
