My Students

My Pre-K to Grade 5 STEAM students are inquisitive, curious, and fun-loving elementary school children who learn best when doing hands-on, engaging activities. As English language learners, projects are so vital to their learning and time is often spent making concepts tangible and relatable.

My elementary engineers are avid readers, enthusiastic mathematicians and budding scientists who are always eager to learn.

They enjoy researching new topics and learning about new places. There’s always a palpable energy in my classroom everytime a new project or experiment is introduced. They can’t wait to get started on the newest unit or latest STEAM project.

My Project

I am requesting LEGO pieces and LEGO people for my elementary school students to explore engineering in my STEAM classroom. We read lots of books and do research on various topics, but I’d love to give my students more hands on building using materials other than common classroom items. We've built bridges with toothpicks and habitats with paper plates and foil, but creating with LEGO takes it a step further.

The LEGO will be used with children in grades Pre-K to 5 during STEAM challenges - these pieces will reach over 700 children during the year!

My eager, English Language Learners and Special Needs Children would greatly benefit from having tangible manipulatives to use when building complex solutions to STEAM problems presented in class.
