My Students
Each year we have more and more students who have families struggling to make it and who often have to move in with relatives after a job loss. Many also come from military families. The students at our school really want to make good choices and we have a staff that is working to help guide students. Our staff continually goes above and beyond to help their students. The school is based on the idea that we are all part of the same team, and we work towards helping all students. Almost 100% of certified staff work as mentors during their personal time to give students who need extra help the attention they need, whether it is an academic or a personal need. We are working hard to make sure our students are prepared for the future. We have added a MakerSpace and are now working to extend our STREAM clubs.
My Project
Our school has a yearly STEM day. It is a part of our dedication to helping our students develop to the best of their ability. We need sets of Bloxels, a MakeyMakey, and a Dash Robot so we have enough of each for STEM day.
"To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.” (National Science Foundation) It is a new world, and one that needs new methods.
We are working to help our students develop STEM skills in a variety of ways. We have a MakerSpace which allows classrooms to explore STEM activities. We also have a STEM Club that meets weekly to delve deeper in the activities. Once a year the whole school spends the day exploring STEM.
On this day we need materials so that classrooms can work in groups of two to solve problems and complete STEM tasks. We are short of what we need to do this in 3 of the areas. We are wanting to make sure that STEM day is able to provide opportunities for the students to explore these STEM activities.
I know this would be a great experience for our school! Thank you!
