My Students

Amazing! That word describes the students who walk through my door every day. I teach a creative group of first and second-grade students. My students are inquisitive and like to question why. They are full of energy and give one hundred percent to everything they do. These children have big hopes and dreams, and I try to bring our curriculum to life with hands-on, innovative activities.

When you take a peek in my classroom door, you will see eager faces, ready to learn.

You will see students who enjoy sharing laughter with their peers, putting their problem-solving skills to use with STEAM activities, creating artwork, and playing with their friends. I want my students to know the sky is the limit and that they should reach for the stars.

My Project

My project is inspired by the IF/THEN winning project "If We Build Up Girls, Then We All Become STEMinists". To help students understand the role of imagination and creativity in STEM, we will learn about IF/THEN ambassadors Ana Maria Porras, Beata Mierzwa & Yamilee Toussant Beach. These ambassadors will help students make the connection between art and technology. Since we have to wear masks all day, every day, we may as well enjoy them! My students will find their own inner artists by using our school Circut to design a personalized face masks. This will allow them to explore creating digitally and learn a bit about graphic design. My students will continue to explore their creativity with neon pastels and metallic Sharpies. This week our art specialist had my kids create a Picasso self-portrait with these supplies and they were amazing! They loved this project and I want to build on their excitement with a new project. In science, we are about to start a plant unit, and I want to use the pastels/Sharpies to have students make a neon garden filled with beautiful flowers.

Through this project my students will be able to express themselves and let their creativity shine!

They will be able to explore several areas of art as they let their imaginations run.
