My Students
Here at our K-12 school, students readily accept one another as they are. Their camaraderie impresses me daily and allows us to dive deep into authentic learning experiences. My students' exposure to opportunities is somewhat limited in our rural setting and as their Industrial Arts, CAD, and Spanish teacher I am eager to share as much of the world as I can. As a result, the students love new information and are filled with curiosity.
Students enjoy seeing their ideas come to life and whether we're in shop class or Spanish class we work diligently as a team, to make that happen.
My Project
Books are beautiful tools. They are often an overlooked tool. In a book, you don't recieve YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook notifications.
You simply recieve knowledge.
And you have the opportunity to provide extra knowledge. With the books requested, we can learn about architecture history, geometry, and other important concepts of craftsmanship.
The books requested were all recommended by professionals in the field. These books approach literacy as a literal tool.
In education, books are often stories. These books are also stories. Though, a different kind of story. A story that the reader gets to actually become a part of with the work they create. Isn't it important we provide this type of literary exposure as well?
More than three‑quarters 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
