I teach at a STEM-focused elementary school. My students are creative, inquisitive, and compassionate second graders. They are learning about community, responsibility, and collaboration in a hands-on STEM classroom. I am inspired by their love for learning and their willingness to push through the tough stuff.
My students are doers, leaders, and our future.
My students thrive in a classroom that supports choice, creativity, and the freedom to think outside the box. They start every day with yoga and meditation. My students thrive when problem-solving and finding answers to today's social injustices. They put together a yard sale to send a girl in Pakistan to school. They care. My students love to talk through problems and share ideas. They are collaborative, cooperative, creative and kind. Each and every day they inspire me to become a better teacher.
My Project
This year my students organized a charity yard sale to raise money to help the Malala Fund and Heifer International. They sold their toys. Through many brainstorming sessions, they created a plan to make items such as decorative bags and personalized pencils to sell at a yard sale to raise even more money for families in need. This Silhouette machine will be used to bring their creative ideas to life. Through the use of this machine, many items will be created with love by my amazing second-grade dreamers. I can't wait to see what they come up with this time around. Thank you!
