The Description
With these funds I will purchase discovery kits (listed below) that are related to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 21st century students need many learning opportunities that encourage reasoning, critical thinking, collaboration, design, and logic. Quality and consistent instruction and self-discovery STEM opportunities will further prepare students for the global economy they will live and work in as an adult. I would like to offer STEM materials at various learning stations that I have set up within my library. Our library is a frequently visited classroom at our school. Therefore, I try my best to offer many educational and engaging student centers that promote curiosity and discovery.

Back Up Plan
If I do not meet my goal I will purchase as many of these STEM kits as possible from the proceeds earned from our library's Winter Book Fair. I may also approach our administration and inquire about the possibility of purchasing a select number of these STEM kits from the Instructional Budget account.
