My students have an inability to transfer knowledge from one class to another. It is my hope that through this project I can show them what they learned in science and how it applies to fine arts.
We are an urban school facing many academic challenges.
I have found that by offering a hands-on experience students retain knowledge learned with a greater capacity. Our population is comprised of approximately 75% African American, 23% Latino/Hispanic, and 2% Other. These students are consistent low performers on state mandated testing reflecting a comprehension deficit.
My Project
By teaching the children glass fusing techniques it will show them how to apply science theory providing better comprehension of subject matter learned. Textbook learning in the sciences is a very difficult concept to grasp without showing physical It is my hope that their outcome will ultimately improve test scores.
Your donations will allow my students to explore science like they have never imagined.
The concepts that they learn will not only allow them to expand their minds but also expand their hearts.
