My Students

This is will my 3rd year teaching students in a whole different capacity as the STEAM cluster. I work to incorporate the five disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, ​Art and Math to bring STEAM alive in our school. My students range from kindergarten through fifth grade, and I teach a variety of learners.

My students are from diverse backgrounds, and my goal is that they all have access to projects and activities that support their needs.

From students with special needs in our Autistic Horizon classes or ICT students to our more independent learners, all students have access to STEM-related activities at all levels when they visit me. My students are excited each day and enjoy a positive project-based learning experience when they visit my class!

I look forward to listening to the buzzing and chatting in my classroom as students try new strategies, share ideas and work as a team to become problem solvers. I am thrilled when my young learners experience something new or try something they never did before. Each day brings new and exciting adventures for all my young learners in our STEAM classroom!

My Project

The materials for this project will help provide a comfortable space for my young learners to sit and work. We are often building with manipulatives or sketching out a blueprint or design.

Many students love to work and stretch out on the floor and these cushions will provide a comfy space!

It would be great to have Purell wipes on hand so we can combat germs daily. Kids love to wipe their hands and get right to work. This will allow them to share materials and still be protected and safe.
