My Students

Science should be fun and science should be challenging. Science must be taught in such a way that students from a lifelong love of the subject matter, and, hopefully, pursue a career in the science field. I teach seventh-grade science at a STEAM middle school in a urban area. I have 177 diverse learners who are taught using a hands-on, inquiry-based science curriculum.

My students are diverse.

Our school has many nation​alities represented. My students are high achieving and from various different economic backgrounds, family situations like being homeless, or having a parent in the military. Our school is considered a school of need according to the number of students who qualify financially for free lunch programs.

Some students come to school hungry and are not truly concerned with what we have to teach them because they are overwhelmed by the thoughts of where their next meal may come from. Other students question if we actually have something to teach them that will truly make a difference in their lives. Still, others wonder if learning can truly be fun. The goal is to provide an educational environment that welcomes ALL and ensures academic growth

My Project

Technology is a huge part of today’s schools. Every student deserves to have the opportunity to have a leveled learning field. I am requesting 15 Kindle Fire tablets and a HP printer with ink to increase the technology in our classroom. The 15 Kindle Fires will be used to program their robots for our FIRST Lego League Jr. competition tasks. We will also be able to use them to quickly access the internet to research or to assess their learning using fun resources like Kahoot! Students will be able to print their Science projects during class instead of having to spend extra money elsewhere. This will save time that can be used for learning.

Your generous donation will inspire my students.

They will excitedly look forward to each class knowing you made it possible to attend. They will learn 21st century skills, help the environment, and have fun.
