Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

ZMS is a partial science magnet with a robust STEM-focused curriculum. My project will engage my students with hands-on activities that support STEM learning and that will help them apply their learning to real-life applications.

Research shows that students thrive when they are allowed to use their creativity in the classroom.

Creativity helps students synthesize information and also makes their learning experience more meaningful.

Providing a cricut for students to use will bring creativity into their educational experience as they design projects that support classroom instruction and enrich their understanding of the content.
