My Students
It is my third year teaching 5th grade at W.E. I was teaching 4th grade prior to this. My classroom is WW II era building which was used as a hospital during the war. I have been told our building is the 2nd oldest building in the school system and it is nearly 100 years old. Since it was not designed to be a classroom it lacks some of the conveniences modern classroom have such as sinks. I teach mainly students from military families. This has its unique challenges and benefits. I like to teach them the value of a good education and work ethics.
My Project
3D printing is the new catalyst for learning. 3D printing is revolutionary that can raise student engagement in the classroom.
3D printers are helping to inspire a new generation of STEM learners by combining problem-solving skills with creativity and innovation.
But this nifty tech also has the potential to support pedagogy across all disciplines.
3D printers and design software inspires creativity and ignites young imaginations. In fact, the possibilities of what students can create through 3D printing are infinite; and it’s remarkable how creative children can be when empowered with the ability to turn their 3D designs into real physical objects!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
