My Students

My students are some of the best kids in the world. They come from an array of different backgrounds and home lives, but they all have one thing in common--they all love engaging with new technologies.

I teach in a fast-growing STEM certified school.

Our mission is to use technology to prepare students for a technology-filled future.

Our school serves grades six through eight. All students receive the opportunity to explore STEM related fields in STEM-specific classes and participate in project-based learning in core classes.

My Project

This project will help students express their knowledge and understanding. So far this year, students have spent time learning the foundation of knowledge and skills they will need as they move forward in the world of sustainability.

They are excited to explore the world of Sustainability through visual representation and by creating their own recycling centers.

While my students are busying reading away and gaining all the knowledge they can, they're running short on ways to express their knowledge due to the lack of supplies. The Cricut will be used to create recycling labels to set up recycling stations around the school, along with the vinyl. The bins will be used to set up mobile recycling stations as well.
