My Students

I teach Maker Education in Oakland, CA. Our student body is made of students from all nationalities. Over a third of our diverse population qualify for free or reduced school lunch. We are pretty much a microcosm of our city, Oakland, CA, and we benefit from the rich culture that Oakland has to offer.

We are inventors, creators, builders, tinkerers, makers, artists, engineers, and scientists.

Our school is committed to giving students a chance to take charge of their own learning, make decisions and help one another. Our MakerSpace is a perfect place for this kind of collaboration and innovation.

My Project

The art journal is basically a net to catch the students' self-expression, exploration and experiences of the year. While I will model techniques, give prompts and offer suggestions and materials, it will be up to the students to find their own voice in creating their journal.

This year, 4th and 5th-grade students will have the opportunity to keep art journals: a place where they can draw or write project ideas; experiment with words, images, and techniques; record memories; keep track of habits, progress, dreams...

Many years of teaching have taught me that new materials inspire creativity. When I offer students new materials, a kind of light goes off in their minds; the world of new possibilities opens wide. In our Makerspace, we promote creative thinking and exploration. Art journals will help spark ideas and create documentation of the year's journey.
