Teaching in a low-income and diverse school, my students are faced with multiple challenges both in and out of the classroom. I see each of my students as individuals and try to instill this in them. I want school to be a place that my students feel comfortable, safe, and successful in all that they do. Many of my students struggle with their social and emotion skills. These STEAM materials will help us to be able to develop their skills through hands on activities, while growing their love for learning and school.
My students are special individuals that are active, creative, and unique in their own ways.
We spend so much time together, we are like a family that learns from each other. We work on many daily and life skills that help to build acceptance of self and others, self-esteem, trust, and feeling successful through academic and daily goals. My hope for each of my students is that each day, they feel successful in what they do and that they learn to believe in themselves like I believe in them.
My Project
These STEAM materials will provide my students with numerous opportunities to work on their academic and problem solving skills, in addition to their social-emotional skills that they have a challenging time with already.
With these materials they will be able to work on developing their social-emotional skills in a fun, yet challenging way.
From problem solving through STEAM activities when something doesn’t work to collaborating with peers, these materials/activities will provide opportunities to develop their Social-Emotional along with their academic skills in a positive way for all to celebrate in the success of their learning each day.
