My Students
My students live in a high poverty, urban area. They go to a community school where every child receives free breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Many of our students live in public housing, with relatives, or are homeless. Many of my students are second language learners. Many of the children do not have their needs met at home. This is often due to lack of finances, long work days, and everyday stress.
My students are excited to come to school and crave the routine of our school day.
One of the main focuses of our school is to integrate the arts into learning.
My Project
Preschoolers learn best by exploring materials in an open-ended, hands-on way. Through play, children can explore their world and learn important STEM concepts. Providing engaging activities such as the magnetic ramps and gears, gives children the opportunity to put things together, and take things apart. By doing this, children are able to figure out how things work in a safe, child-friendly way.
Kids love thrilling roller coasters…and now they can design their own!
Through trial & error, children will learn how the track position affects the disk—as it rolls and falls from track to track & into the goal box! The magnetic tracks stick to any magnetic surface, so they will work perfectly with the Stand-Up Magnetic Design Board.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
