This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students are middle schoolers at a Title I school in New York. My students come from diverse backgrounds and many from tough homes. They are overcoming social and emotional barriers each day to receive an education.
My students are active and enthusiastic.
They are motivated and eager to do well. They want to learn and are constantly seeking opportunities to take ownership of their learning.
Our school is in a high needs and high poverty area in which most children are on free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch programs. My students work hard despite the challenges they face. Many students stay after school, participate in after-school clubs and activities and are always striving to be, and do, better for themselves and for others.
My Project
A Cricut is an amazing machine that allows people to design different projects using different mediums. In the hands of my students, they will be able to use the mat and accessories for STEAM projects. The use of the additional mats will allow more students to have access to the machine. Having faster access to the machine keeps up the level of interest that students have in creating their own designs as well as allowing them to be thoughtful as they clean up their designs. The HTV provides students with variety of color, design, and marketing options as they think how to best create their projects.
Fostering STEAM in my classroom fosters an environment where students are able to engage and contribute.
The Yamaha keyboard will foster additional creativity for students to tap into as we explore different elements of art. The light up keyboard will allow students to go at their own pace. I look forward to bringing these awesome materials into the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
