I am the Media Specialist at my elementary school and I see all students K-5 every week. I enjoy all grade levels, but am focusing this project on 5th graders. These students are ready to expand their independent learning and thinking. After being in school together for six years, they know each other well and are great cooperative learners.
These students are ready to use their perseverance, creativity, knowledge and cooperative learning skills.
They are a great and unique group of kids who are will enjoy the opportunity to take on a new challenge.
My Project
I have chosen STEM Robotic Building Kits to be used in the Media Center with 5th grade students. I will be working on this project with our 5th Grade Science Teacher. Before Covid, myself and other staff members were planning a makerspace to promote STEM activities, creativity and fun for our students. When we shut down for Covid, those plans came to a halt. We have been back in school full time, but there have been so many other priorities that we have not been able to engage our students in the type of STEM activities that we would like. This project would do just that for our 5th graders.
Students will work cooperatively to build a robotic project of their choice.
They will work together in the Media Center on their project. They will have the opportunity to do two projects and we will have a parent night for students to exhibit their second project and share a presentation showing the building process.
This project will address the following standards:
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
