My Students

My students walk through our school doors every day to an exciting, loving community of teachers and classmates. This is an environment where my students work hard, have fun, set goals, and feel proud of their learning and accomplishments.

My students are curious learners.

They are motivated and engaged learners who are excited to learn and practice new skills each day.

We have an amazing school because of our students. They breathe life, enthusiasm and curiosity into our classrooms each day.

My Project

My students will have the opportunity to explore being engineers and scientists as they construct and create with these STEM activities. In third grade there is a heavy focus on standards revolving around forces and motion, and these kits will allow my students to discover and explore the effects of forces and motion in our world. We begin building the basics for the understanding of Newton's Laws. These concepts can be puzzling for young students, and these hands on activities will allow students to gain a better understanding and eliminate common misconceptions. Please help me provide this learning experience for my students! Thank you so much!
