The middle and high school science and robotics classes are a place for excitement and laughter while challenging students to always strive for improvement. The majority of my students come from single-parent, low-income homes where they are often the ones taking care of themselves and their siblings. This reflects the 78% of students on free or reduced-price lunches. Despite these hardships they are facing at home, my classroom is a safe haven for all students, as I provide a classroom where they can become life-long learners.
These are my students who I challenge and love every single day.
My students are an active group who like to move and do hands-on STEM labs. They become teachers to their peers in our classroom. In the science and robotics class, we do lots of hands-on projects and coding. They love positive attention and praise, and this is why our classroom is built on positive encouragement and attention. We build each other up and celebrate successes and encourage those who fall short at times of performing their best! I am hopeful my students will learn to treat others with respect, encourage others, and strive to always improve themselves in all areas.
My Project
My students love to create in the classroom and a color printer will give them the option to also print their creations. Quality color printing is a key asset in a wide range of classroom scenarios — at all educational levels. It can be leveraged to create interactive visual aids for use in the classroom, which helps teachers communicate complex concepts to students.
Educators can also take advantage of color in classroom handouts, games, activity posters, and calendars.
The sky's the limit when it comes to the visual materials educators can use in a color setting. Students often report they engage better with color materials, which instinctively draw their attention and pique their interest.
Color can especially help students interpret and understand charts and graphs, and it aids in the retention of material covered in class. High-quality color printing can support tremendous creativity and innovation in the classroom. Color is naturally engaging for all learners, and it provides a useful bridge between the digital and print worlds.
