I work in a Title I school with some of the most amazing, creative, and hard-working students. More than 60% of my students come from a lower socioeconomic home. Many of my students are ESL, and many more qualify for special education.
I have the best students, and I want to give them the best!
Because of the daily obstacles my students face, some of them find education very challenging. Many come to school without their basic needs being met, so it is hard for them to focus on math, science, or reading. I try to think outside of the box so that my kids are engaged and want to learn.
Our classroom has a 3D printer. This 3D printer is used for math, reading, science, social studies, and behavioral incentives. Students show their understanding of different concepts and ideas by creating models in the 3D printing program. While creating models, they are also learning 21st century skills, such as problem-solving, communication, creativity, and collaboration. I also have a daily mystery student who gets to print something from Thingiverse. My students love working extra hard each day to earn the opportunity to print something. Because we do a lot of printing, our class needs more filament to complete the projects. We are seeking a variety of colors to make it more exciting and to have choice.
Our class will be forever grateful for your consideration in supporting us. Thank you!
More than half of students from low‑income households
