My Students

My students come from mixed backgrounds of single-parent, traditional family, mixed family, and foster or grandparent care. Common to all is the desire to be given the opportunity to explore and discover critical-thinking skills needed as they transition from being the students of today to the leaders of tomorrow. My students are ambitious, kind and ready to learn cross-cutting science and engineering concepts. Your donation will provide resources for them. We are currently working with our new Science and Engineering 3D standards and utilizing the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Evaluate).

My Project

Recently I have seen several articles noting that students learn better when writing and reading on hard copies. The 8th grade Utah SEEd standard textbook is available online but this upcoming school year I would like to try giving each student one of these workbooks to work in every day. I feel like this will improve reading and help with retaining information. The workbook will also serve as a great study tool at the end of the year. I am hoping to be able to provide a workbook for each student this next year. Your donation will allow for this. Thank you for your consideration.
