My Students
My students are amazing, marvelous and challenging on many levels. They come to school excited, eager to experience an exciting lesson. I often refer to them jokingly as “challenging customers” that refuse to accept second best. As I try my best to provide excellent customer service to my clientele, I find that it is never enough to just teach.
It is a journey to discover how best to serve every single one of my students and get them ready for college and for life and I am enjoying the ride.
Our school is a Title I school in Atlanta where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of our students are facing many socioeconomic challenges that hinder their academic success. As I observe them interact with one another, enthused in a lesson, I regain my conviction that a future is possible and achievable for all my students.
My Project
Imagine a whole city coming to life right in front of you. As the architect, the urbanist, the realtor, the student is in charge of planning and designing their dream city. The Brother ScanNCut machine will allow the students to cut and build the city using paper.
Using various skills that are not limited to just one subject, they will dream, think, measure, scale, design, and finally print and build their dream city with the Brother cutting machine.
This activity will promote thinking, organization, leadership and communication skills in my students. There are so many questions to answer ( a garden or a new high rise? where should the hospital be? what is the correct size for the school?..) and the scholars will plan, calculate the sizes and the scales; then draw the design and send it to the cutting machine for printing. This project will be an eye opener and my students will see the pletora of possibilities in a STEM career.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
