My Students
Having taught in a Title I school for the past several years, my transfer to a non-Title I school was surprising in several ways. Since my first day with my delightful 4th grade class, it has been thrilling to discover their tremendous individuality and the diversity of their gifts and needs.
They are a fascinating blend of curiosity, kindness, passion for learning, desire to lead, and willingness to help and serve.
Interestingly, these characteristics are mixed with an equally fascinating blend of anxiety, attention deficit, and other special needs, all requiring individualized nurturing and differentiated instruction.
Another surprise about my new school is that we actually have less funding for technology and other teaching resources than we did at my Title I school. How wonderful it will be to link up with generous people and organizations who are willing to share resources to help educators in our quest to change the world one amazing child at a time.
My Project
Snap Circuits provide safe social interaction and intellectual collaboration as students work together to learn how electricity powers any device. As they build circuits, they will learn how to use electrical components (batteries, switches, LEDs, motors, solar panels, and more) to build circuits.
As they cooperate to build circuits, they also gain an appreciation for the value of precious natural resources needed to provide electricity for our everyday lives.
Best of all, these incredible kits are so fun to work with that children don't even realize they are learning critical concepts of the Utah Science Core Curriculum. The best learning is disguised as play!
