I am a 6th teacher that interacts with over 150 students daily.
Despite facing difficult circumstances, my class is a group of energetic, fun-loving little students that are eager to learn and meet their academic goals.
I have a diverse mix of students in my classroom with different ethnicities and backgrounds represented. Along with a diverse group of students comes a diverse set of learning styles. My goal is to create an environment that lends itself to collaboration among my students and is an engaging space that allows students to give the best of their abilities.
My Project
Gingerbread House building is a perfect way for my students to be able to create, build, design and problem solve while having fun working with their classmates. Gingerbread houses are part of many holiday traditions and associated with winter. Most of my students have never had the opportunity to build a gingerbread house, and I would love to give them that experience in school.
Like real engineers, my students will discover what makes a home stand strong and not topple over.
They will need to build a strong foundation for their houses and then design a creative gingerbread house. They will apply numerous mathematical concepts in designing and decorating their houses with the various candies.
Please help my little engineers enjoy their STEAM gingerbread house building experience and gain the confidence needed to become future engineers! After they build their masterpiece they will then have to put their house through a series of Natural Disasters to see who will survive.
