My Students

I work at amazing school: What makes this school so amazing? The great administration, staff, and diverse population of students. We are a high poverty, greatly diverse school, with newcomers from various countries. Everyday I see students making progress on various academic, social, and emotional levels. As a school with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics; I often find limited resources to offer my Kindergarteners. I would love to offer them some flexible seating options, art supplies, and LEGOs. Won't you please think about a donation to this worthy cause?

My Project

Students will have an opportunity to create their Design Plan using art and drawing supplies, express their engineering ideas through the use of blocks, and use flexible seating as an option at certain STEM Centers. Designing buildings, bridges, and towers, are only a few examples. Watching students collaborate, problem solve, and create, are only a few skills they can develop and apply to the real world. Introducing students to various STEM experiences will allow them see how the purposeful learning connects to future jobs. This project would significantly help my students understand the Design Process. Please consider funding this project.
