My students never cease to amaze and inspire me with their energy and creativity. They have huge dreams and aspirations and are always on the lookout for new things to pique the interests of their active minds.
My Title I school's 4th grade Talented and Gifted students crave experience, interaction, technology, and fun, which are all things that I strive to provide.
I am continually seeking out new and inventive teaching strategies and tools that will help me enrich my students' educational experiences and help instill in them a love of learning and passion for knowledge.
My Project
My students are so excited to have a 3D printer to use in the classroom and we want to jump right in by putting it to use immediately! The kids will be using it to create fraction manipulatives, items for their upcoming biography projects, and contour maps for geography, just to start!
Since my students will have endless ideas and projects they will want to create, we will need more filament and platform stickers to make sure that their imaginations are not held back by a lack of materials.
Giving my students a range of filament colors to choose from and making sure that we have enough on hand will allow them to keep printing throughout the rest of the school year!
