My Project

My students are fun and curious to learn about their environment and how things work. I like to challenge their thinking skills to keep them .motivated and hunger to learn about their world. They amaze me everyday with their higher thinking level and what kinds of activities or ideas they come up with on their own, with the materials available to them.

These gears will help me achieve my goal in allowing my students to interact with their peers by having numerous discussions about their world and how objects and ideas work together.
