Learning Through STEM Activities

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn through STEM. I want to provide my students with as many fun and diverse learning opportunities as possible. They deserve a full, rich education like all children do.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I work at a Title I school on the East side of Austin. Our kids come to school depending on us to provide everything from meals to coats and beyond. My team and I work hard to provide the kids with all of the tools, emotionally and physically, that they will need to succeed. I utilize a peace area in my room to help with tough situations, work closely with the counselor to provide much needed services, and use lots of art to help work through feelings and give students an outlet for their emotions.

Even with all of the challenges that some of our students face outside of school, they still show up every morning with a big smile and excitement for our day.

The kids squeal when we pull out something as simple as new play-doh and their eyes light up with every new book that we read. I am hoping to be able to give my students every experience possible to make their first year in school as memorable as it can be.

My Project

I want to provide my students with as many fun and diverse learning opportunities with STEM activities as possible. They deserve a full, rich education like all children do.

I want to help them grow and understand the world around them.

The Fairy Tales STEAM Kit combines classic stories with hands-on STEM and literacy activities that children are sure to love! As children read the stories, animate the puppets, answer questions and complete each STEM challenge, they’ll build critical language and literacy skills, boost creative expression, master early engineering concepts and much more! Featuring books, storytelling aids and exciting STEM activities, the kit is perfect for integrating multiple subject areas—including STEM, literacy, creative expression and social-emotional development—into one action-packed lesson!
