My Project

I teach in a co-taught classroom. Our classroom is fully inclusive. We have a mixed population of general education and special education students. I want to provide my students with hands-on learning experiences that apply to real-world situations with a mobile STEM station, real-world STEM challenges, LEGOS, remote control STEM bot, 3Doodler pen set, action bots, and puffy pipe stems. I want to expand their learning beyond math and science and give them life skills that will extend beyond the classroom. I want to accomplish this by providing STEM activities for them to practice collaboration skills in the school. Thanks for your support!
