My Students

We are the largest elementary school in our district and we serve a diverse group of students, including foster youth, mainstream special education students, as well as those from low income households. We currently have more than 180 kindergarten, special education, and speech students who would benefit from this project. All our students utilize the shared leaning space in the kindergarten pod throughout the school day and they would be very excited to build, collaborate, and explore new STEAM centers.

My Project

Our kindergarten team, as well as our special education and speech students, utilize the shared learning kindergarten pod as an opportunity for our students to explore, build, and grow socially and emotionally alongside their peers. Our students would be delighted to explore the new centers in the learning pod such as the light table, architecture blocks, and Lego table. We know that if they had the opportunity to design, build, and create at these new centers they would be developing key skills that will help them problem solve in the classroom. Our pod also helps students grow socially and emotionally while cooperating with their peers as their create together.
