My students are active kindergartners that come from a variety of different cultures and economic backgrounds. Many of my young learners face different challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite their challenges and differences, they enjoy coming together and learning new things through hands-on experiences.
My students are explorers, builders, inventors, scientists, artists, readers, authors, and most importantly children, children who are filled with energy and a love for learning.
As a second year teacher, I strive for all my students to be able to learn through a motivating, engaging, and real world environment. I am trying my best to provide these active learners with engaging materials that will facilitate learning. I love incorporating activities that foster creativity and team building because it makes learning fun and personal. I love their love for learning and want to provide them with as many different resources as possible.
My Project
The fairy tales STEM kits will be used during literacy and math rotations. Students will work in small groups to create and problem solve based on the chosen fairy tale. My students will be able to incorporate an understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as literacy concepts as they read the story and help the different fairy tale characters solve problems.
The fairy tale STEM kits will provide my students with the opportunity to be in the center of the learning experience, making connections and seeing things through different lenses.
My project will encourage my students to challenge themselves and work with each other as they advance academically.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
