My Students
My students come from a large Baltimore City Middle school that connects students from a diverse group of socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures. It is my goal this year, to increase literacy in Science, provide supplies and incentives to keep students engaged as students in being successful during virtual learning.
Providing students with books, supplies, and incentives that focus on engagement in Science that sparks excitement and curiosity about learning.
Also, as students continue to learn at home, increased student engagement and hands-on experiences continue to be a Virtual learning goal and expectation. Teachers seek to design a curriculum that meets the academic needs of students.
My students are inquisitive 7th-grade scientists open to learning and exploring, but many lack enthusiasm and engagement through hands-on experiences. It is my goal to keep the momentum going virtually and provide students with a no-worry zone about materials which more likely to gain success.
My Project
Teaching Science at home during a pandemic is difficult. A crucial element that is missing from virtual learning is a connection and a hands-on experience for students. They need to know and feel that I “see “ them, I care, and that I connect with them virtually. These books, supplies, and incentives will help my students feel special, spark their interest, make a connection to their learning and to their teacher. It is my hope that these incentives will encourage and motivate my students to thrive in their virtual learning home environments.
