My students are amazing. Each one has ideas and information that he or she wants to share with our class. My students are full of questions and concerns about our changing world. In my class, we explore questions that are relevant to our lives. We conduct math and science problems that mean something to us. We apply daily life to our studies and try to find deeper learning.
My students come from different backgrounds; they value different things.
My students are thinkers and explorers. They question things and want to know how and why things work the way they do. From my youngest students (5) to my oldest students (12) they share a common hunger for knowledge and exploration of their world. I teach special needs students, autistic students, out of the box thinkers, underprivileged students, deaf students, ESOL students and academically talents students. We are a wonderful blend of society who truly come together when we work on a problem and find solutions together.
My Project
LEGOS are a great tool for leveling the playing field. At our school we have a very diverse population of students that sometimes come to us with little to no English. We have students who are on the Autism Spectrum and students who express themselves best through non verbal methods.
These LEGOS and bins will allow each student the ability to express their ideas and inventions in an easy way.
They will help my students to engage in our current topics and express their designs and ideas to others on a grander scale.
We have some LEGOS in the classroom, but as my class sizes are ever growing, this will help me to create a class set of LEGOS where each child will be able to build.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
