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

After teaching my students about force, motion, construction, and thinking outside the box, I will give them the activities and have them use their individual thought process to create what they feel will be successful to accomplish the task given.

All three activities give the students the materials needed to show what they have learned about force and motion.

This will give the students the opportunity to constructing objects that show their independent thinking skills.

This will help the students to form a better understanding of the STEM approach to learning. They will learn that there are many different ways to reach the same goal.
