My Students

My class this year will be young children experiencing the educational system for the first time in their life. I will have a very diverse group of students from the community with many different backgrounds. Some will know their alphabet when others will not. The students love hands-on​, and visual learning experiences that will develop their minds.

My students want to learn how to become excellence and independent thinking.

They enjoying the STEM approach to learning, because they can use many different approaches to complete the work. The students love to learn new things through the STEM approach.

My Project

My students are like little sponges they want to learn. By getting headsets for my class we will be able to do many activities on the Ipads and each student can hear what is being said on their Ipads, without distractions from hearing the other classmates iPads.

After creating the activities on the iPads, students will be able to use the magnetic blocks to explore the many different cause and effects that result from their hands-on​ experiments.

This will help all the students to become creative thinkers by solving problems that might occur during the learning process. Students will become more engaged in their own learning.
