I teach kindergarten in an inclusion classroom full of littles with bright minds eager to learn. My class consists of general education students, students with learning disabilities and special needs. Though they differ in learning styles and abilities, their differences make each and every one unique in their own way. They are all creative and curious learners.
Our school's mission is to recognize the worth of each student, maintain high expectations and strive to meet the needs of the "whole" child, as we instill a lifelong love of learning.
In a state lacking funds for education, our district is not able to provide valuable tools needed in the classroom. We are a Title 1 school in a district facing budget cuts.
My Project
STEM education focuses on a student-centered learning environment. These STEM kits will engage students in problem solving, critical thinking and questioning while collaborating with their peers. My students will have an all-hands-on approach to science, technology, engineering, and math.
Kids are naturally interested in exploring how things work.
They are STEM investigators, eager to question and invent. Beginning STEM in early education, will help change the belief among students that math and science are the "difficult" subjects. With your generous donations, I can provide my students with the tools needed to use their minds and hands to investigate, build, collaborate, and MOST of all, have fun through STEM!
