A team of La Crosse School District 4K teachers including Pa Houa Vang, Penelope O’Reilly, Jane Erickson, Cathy Leon, and Cathy Fuchs received a grant from the La Crosse Public Education Foundation (LPEF) for a total of $7,985 to buy Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) materials for all the La Crosse 4K classrooms.  These materials will help four and five year olds to problem solve, ask questions, and explore the world around them.   Researchers have also noticed that students who were less successful in traditional school activities (whether because of special education needs or otherwise) were able to thrive when they encountered STEM learning opportunities, even emerging as leaders in their small groups in some cases.

The grant money will go towards STEM professional development for all 4K teachers, and will include a science light table, math light table starter kit, real working construction crane, children’s tape measure, math balance, and other consumable supplies.   This grant was underwritten in part by Modern Crane Services of Onalaska.
