My Students
My students are special because they come from extremely different backgrounds, yet they learn together and love each other.
My class is comprised of a diverse group that speaks several different languages, and have a huge range of social and economic differences.
Many of the children are on free/reduced lunch. Some of the students have already been enrolled in several different schools by the time they have reached the first grade. We live in a transient area and for many, school is the one place that is a stable and safe environment.
This is a happy group that is ready to learn!
My Project
The Design and Build Engineering Centers will integrate student learning and supplement classroom experiences!
These activities are age appropriate centers designed for first graders!
These learning tubs will help my students gain more understanding in Science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. Students will be able to plan and figure out why ideas work, or do not work.
Through the hands on activities, students will also improve fine motor, spatial, critical thinking, visual planning and cooperative learning skills.
My students will be able to use open ended explorations that combine play and education. They will explore concepts they will also encounter in upper grades.
My goal is that the opportunities for students to explore with these materials will build foundations and foster future successes in the STEM subjects.
