My Students

My students are amazing. Each one has ideas and information that he or she wants to share with our class. My students are full of questions and concerns about our changing world. In my class, we explore questions that are relevant to our lives. We conduct math and science problems that mean something to us. We apply daily life to our studies and try to find deeper learning.

My students come from different backgrounds; they value different things.

My students are thinkers and explorers. They question things and want to know how and why things work the way they do. From my youngest students (5) to my oldest students (12) they share a common hunger for knowledge and exploration of their world. I teach special needs students, autistic students, out of the box thinkers, underprivileged students, deaf students, ESOL students and academically talents students. We are a wonderful blend of society who truly come together when we work on a problem and find solutions together.

My Project

I first fell in love with Keva planks at a STEM convention in Atlanta. They level the playing field with STEM as almost anyone can experiment, engineer, and build with these tools. My students, aged 5-12 would all be able to use the planks to express their ideas and their knowledge.

My students love to express themselves creatively.

Drawing and using Legos helps to express their ideas and designs, but these Keva planks are much easier to use for younger students. Many of my students haven't fully developed their drawing skills and sometimes they have difficulty using Legos. This fully stocked set will allow them to work in groups and individually!
