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 Students

I teach 2nd grade gifted students. We are located in a small town in Mississippi where over 75% of our students live in poverty. They do not have money to buy lunch, much less supplies for projects. Only 1 in 4 students have any type of technology at home.

In my gifted program, I teach process skills to help students understand how they learn and think.

Included in these process skills are many goals related to critical thinking, technology, logic skills, analytical skills, problem solving, and preparing students for careers in the 21st century.

My students are incredibly smart and love opportunities to invent and create new things. They enjoy the challenge of logic puzzles and building structures with many different types of materials. We have completed several STEM activities where the students use their critical thinking skills to solve specific problems. It is exciting to see them so actively involved in their learning and observe their creativity in each challenge.

My Project

Snap Circuits teach students the fundamentals behind circuitry and electricity. The Snap Circuits kit uses building blocks with snaps that snap on and snap off a plastic board. Each block has a function. There are switch blocks, lamp blocks, battery blocks, different wire length blocks and more.

The Snap Circuit kits contain activities in a variety of difficulty levels and gives children hands-on experiences with switches, magnetism, lights, electrical meters, generators, compasses, magnetic fields, series circuits, and parallel circuits.

Students will learn how to read diagrams, follow written and visual instructions, and create a functional and interactive model. Projects range from lighting a bulb with a switch, simulating a flying saucer, to creating a police siren sound by clapping your hands.

The kits will provide unlimited learning opportunities for my students since they can be used later for do-it-yourself projects after they learn the basics of electricity.
