My students come from a wide range of socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. They have a wide mix of cognitive, emotional and social backgrounds. My students range in age from 3 years to 5 years old. Many of them have experienced lives filled with trauma and Special Needs challenges that I, at 46 years of age, have never been faced with, yet they show up day after day with loving smiles, hugs, and joyful spirits. They are curious about the world around them, and they are eager to learn everything they can. They are global learners who will inspire the world.
It is my honor and pleasure to serve my students by preparing lessons that will engage them, inspire their passion and desire for learning and develop their drive for lifelong learning.
My students' desire to learn is much stronger than the challenges that face them. It brings me great joy to see my students make progress on a daily basis. Experiences, opportunities and thoughtful planning help them to build and develop skills that are delayed and improve their cognition. Our student population is 26% Hispanic, 6% Multiracial, .1% Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, 34.4% White, 31.7% Black and .07% Asian.
My Project
Students will have opportunities to create using science to become young engineers. Building and creating allows young scientist to explore, and discover the wonders of planning, analyzing, collaborating and designing. The Magnetic structures, ramps, and tubes allow young scientist to predict and plan new creations. These young innovators are inspired and empowered through playing with tools that stretch and strengthen their creativity. STEM is facilitated through activities that allow young children to work on math, science, and problem solving skills in play and creative ways. Young learners can apply science, mathematics knowledge, building design and technology when they have tools and activities that sustain their attending and engagement.
More than half of students from low‑income households
