My Students

In a room surrounded by animals and plants, my students enter our jungle of a classroom engulfed by science. The classroom is designed for exploration through research and learning, via hands-on activities. By the end of the year, I want my students to be at the forefront of a STEM education.

Each student is unique in their own way, which makes learning that much more special.

My students love learning about the ever-changing world of science and are captured by the fact that every day brings new discoveries in science. The school is a welcoming environment that encourages higher-level learning while supporting the students at every step. The school houses over fourteen hundred middle school students, who come from different ethnic backgrounds. In order to strengthen their learning experience, I want my students to utilize all the possible resources I can provide for them.

My Project

My first DonorsChoose project was a printer for my classroom, and it was so exciting to see the difference a printer could make in student learning. Who knew a printer could allow students to create magnificent collages, write 5-page science policy papers and explore scientific investigations. Having graphs and diagrams in color also allow my visual learners not to be held back in our science learning. They can visually understand the trends and data through histograms and various other graphs. We need ink and paper to continue our learning for the upcoming year. This past year without enough toner to continue printing our work left me feeling like I was not allowing them to take ownership in their learning. When they see their work displayed, especially their creative work in color, they feel so proud of themselves. I never want to take that away from them.

When my students see things printed in colors, their eyes light up, and I know it excites their learning a little bit more.

The world we live in is not black and white so why force our students to learn in black and white? Color makes everything better!
