I'm Bonnie Kirkley anSTEAM Educational Coach and Consultant. I help Elementary Teachers and Administrators create classrooms that grow STEM or STEAM as a community culture, so that they can foster students who will become creative critical thinkers engaged in Project-Based Learning which allows for deeper insight and understanding to take place across ALL the core subjects. I believe that now more than ever our students need to develop their own creativity, critical thinking, collaboration with peers, and communication skills beyond their comfort zone.-We have all been taking for granted what our students ACTUALLY understand and know for a long time.

STEM Gifts Obsession List: Curated Just for the TEACHER!

November 24, 2021 • Bonnie Kirkley • Season 2 • Episode 32

STEM gifts obsession list has arrived! I like to think of myself as an extreme curator. Without a doubt, one of my favorite things to do is share new ideas with other teachers, as well. These two characteristics go hand in hand so I have curated a list of ALL my STEM product obsessions just for the teacher… That’s right. Not what to buy the kids, but what will make this teacher have the BEST DAY EVER with students! Delivered to you today in 5 categories. These obsessions make ME happy, students learn and explore with curiosity, and they are classroom approved must-haves!

If you missed last year’s list, take a peek here!

The Must-Haves List
Scotch Laminator - Gotta get that!

IKEA Tubs - At $2.99.. did I just say $2.99? This is most spacious tub for storing a STEM center with sections inside!

Wooden Trays - You can't have enough of these! So useful.. and I love natural wood.

Peppermint Jar - Clears the head and engages the senses. My students are allowed to take one when they need it. We love the soft peppermint the best.

Blisslight Projector - Do not hang lights again! Create a mood in the room for a lesson or just enjoyment!

Splash Mats - LIFE CHANGER!! I use outside with kinetic sand on the mat or inside to catch things and tiny parts!

Induction Cooktop - AMAZING! Cooking is one of the best activities for incorporating STEM! We love becoming a play dough making factory!
