My Project

What I love most about my students is their inquisitiveness, innocence, and desire to learn. They find excitement in everything we do. I am a teacher who believes science should be visible. I teach English Language Learners. Many come with little to no English language knowledge.

The materials that I have requested will allow me to connect the real world, my classroom instruction, and district science and engineering principles.

Promoting the elements of STEM using toys and biology flashcards allows me to highlight careers throughout my courses as I focus on standards and objectives.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
