My Students

What makes my students so special are their inquisitive minds! They love to explore almost every topic in Life Science. My students are so excited when they participate in Science Lab activities. My students come from very diverse backgrounds.

Every one of my scholars has big plans of exceeding learning requirements while simultaneously having fun each day of class!

My students love hands-on investigations and love to touch and closely look at actual live specimens.

We are a Title I school and several of my students come from a low socio-economic background. They come to school ready for new experiences. This school is an amazing place to learn. My objective is to get students excited to learn. My students love to read about surprising topics and are fascinated by photos that pique their interest and draw them into articles on life science, earth science, physical science. My students are voracious readers and love to do research on topics that really interests them.

My Project

My science class needs a Cricut cutting machine. We use bulletin boards and displays throughout the school to share information with students, promote awareness events/celebrations, and to teach/reinforce concepts. The students really enjoy the interactive bulletin boards. To create our bulletin boards we are currently tracing and cutting out letters, buying letters, tracing, coloring, and cutting out pictures, or writing directly on the bulletin board paper. This is a time consuming process. The Cricut machine will be used to create engaging displays and bulletin boards for students. The machine will be a huge time saver and offers a wide variety design options.

With the diverse needs that encompass a classroom, the Cricut will serve as another means of differentiated learning and providing a welcoming and engaging learning environment.

The Cricut Maker will be an amazing addition to our classroom and school. Why can't middle school classrooms be beautifully decorated like the lower levels? The Cricut will allow students to expand their creativity with projects. Students could design their project and have it cut out on vinyl, fabric, and other materials. With the Cricut, students will have the opportunity to create posters in an organized way. It will allow the students to cut out letters and images to add to their in class group and individual projects.
