Teacher & librarian Amy Brownlee dreamed of implementing an elementary STEM program, “but felt overwhelmed because I didn’t have the funds … or the knowledge of where to start.”
Here’s how she created a low-cost, high-impact model you can replicate at your school! 🤩

Low-Cost, High-Interest Elementary STEM Activities
Teachers can build an engaging STEM program on a limited budget by going slowly and adding one activity at a time—which also gives them time to learn.

Nonfiction weeding completed! 🎉
Let me introduce you to my island of misfit toys, aka "books I can’t allow to remain shelved where they are and still sleep at night".Yes, there is a three-tiered, two-sided cart full.
Time to recatalog! And maybe start a massive project...a 🧵

Reading Graphics: Benefits of Reading series
Trying to convince our students to read can be tricky. We have to compete with the many activities and distractions that take up time in their lives. Sharing the research about why reading is good for them and tips on how to get back into reading can be one way to assist this process.
