My Students

My students are imaginative and creative. They work hard and take pride in their education. Their families work hard to provide what they need to succeed and get the most out of their time at school. My students always deserve to get the best out of their educational experience.

My passion is to encourage and empower all of my students to reach their greatest potential.

I strive to provide lessons, activities, and the environment to help them grow to their greatest potential.

My Project

Our classroom day begins with a choice of STEM options, and it sets a engaging tone for the rest of the day. One of the key elements in tackling a STEM challenge is the planning and designing that my students do in a small group setting. They love brainstorming ideas, sharing their design plans, and sketching possible solutions.

Using a Flex-Space Write & Wipe Mobile Rectangular Table to plan out their approach to a STEM challenge will give my students an engaging and motivational way to interact with their group.

To help promote skills needed for career readiness, students need practice working together to solve problems and find creative solutions to challenges. My students plan to address real-world problems such as growing food for a local population, keeping our environment clean, and reducing our paper waste by recycling. A dry erase table would give my students a place to collaborate on these problems using tools that are exciting for them. In our STEM activities, project based learning activities, and daily classroom work in science and math, this dry erase table could be used across the subject areas to keep students motivated and maximize their learning experience.
