Our school represents a large variety of students from various countries all over the world. One hundred percent of the students at my school receive free or reduced-price lunch, and we are a school-wide recipient of Title I funds.
Want to know one of my favorite parts of my job?
I love seeing the change that students undergo over the course of the year. I am fortunate enough to see kids develop ways to express kindness each and every day. They use manners that weren't present in August. I have seen students who loathe reading turn into book lovers. Few things make me smile like seeing my kids pull out a book when they have an extra few minutes. My classroom is full of faces and personalities that will impact our future world. As a teacher, I believe it is my job to do everything I can to make sure that impact will be a positive impact!
My Project
My 4th grade students will begin studying weathering, erosion, landforms and archeology at the start of the school year. The excavation Kits, books, and playdough will provide several STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) activities that require small groups of students to explore scientific and social studies concepts and allow them to participate in experiments related to the learning in their readings.
Science and Social Studies lessons should engage students, encourage investigations, and build connections to the world.
The STEM activities in these kits do just that! By working through these hands-on STEM activities, my students will gain a better understanding of the State Standards and connect them to their daily lives. Their learning will become meaningful and relevant with your help!
