We are the Bucket Fillers! This means we fill the "buckets" of everyone we are in contact with each and every day.
We are kind to all!
We spend our days learning and growing together. Each day is an exciting adventure. We are amazing! We are the only STEM-focus elementary school in the area with a specific focus on engineering.
This donation will help provide my students with the materials to help them grow in the areas of STEM. Our school has over 400 students. We are not a Title I funded school, so we do not receive many of the resources that other schools may have. The average class size is between 25-30 students. We have a strong commitment to excellence and a great parent network. Our staff works together to support our students in any way possible so all students can succeed.
My Project
"Anything you can imagine, now you can build it with Bloxels." Bloxels are small, multi-colored cubes that students will use to create characters and settings on a 13x13 gameboard.
My project will use the Bloxels game board and app to create digital stories.
Students will think of a character using their imagination. Then, they will be able to use the colorful cubes to create their character on the game board. After the character is set, they will come up with a setting for the character. Both of these things will be uploaded on the Bloxels app. In class, students will be able to create a digital story to go along with their characters and then see if come to life in their Bloxel video game. This project will be very engaging for students because it blends their love for video games and technology with literacy. It will be a great digital storytelling experience for my students.
