My Students

Our students are very motivated learners. Our school is a STEM school, and so we try to provide as many hands-on and real world applications and experiences for them to enhance their learning.

We have approximately 100 second graders.

We are a STEM school that also has a Dual Language program. Our population is very diverse - both racially and economically. These students are engineers who often think outside of the box and use all their prior knowledge and experiences to excel.

My Project

Our students work on a science unit each year that is all about animals, their needs, and their habitats. This project will bring a representative from the Ft. Worth Zoos who will bring small animals with him/ her and discuss the needs, habitats, etc. of the animals to our students. This experience will allow students to participate in a real life and in person experience with real animals with a professional that works with animals on a daily basis.

Our students will benefit from this amazing up close and personal encounter with smallzoo animals which will allow the students to better understand the focus of our animal unit and allow them to ask questions of a zoo keeper.
