My Students

In our school of 400+ students, 65% of students are low socioeconomic status and 35% of students are learning English as a new language. First grade is a crucial year for students to develop language, reading, and mathematical skill sets that will continue to grow throughout their educational career. My class of 20 first graders is made up of students learning English, students with different learning styles and students who are above grade level.

My goal as an educator is to provide the necessary experiences to help students grow personally as students and citizens.

I would love your help in making my vision a reality!

My Project

My students are from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. My goal is to create science centers which instill a love of math, engineering and problem solving. These hands-on centers will allow for creativity and ingenuity to blossom!

First grade is an essential year to form student's opinions about learning and school- I want my students to be excited to learn!

This project will provide materials that will help me accomplish my part in my school's science initiative with a Harvard professor. The materials will have task cards with problems for the students to solve. Each task card has a unique problem that requires different engineering skills to solve. Students can build roller coasters, create a magnetic path and solve real world problems. The science kits encourage exploration, hands on centers, and authentic writing. I would love to incorporate these centers in my classroom!
