My Students

My students are amazing seven and eight year olds who are excited about learning. They love to participate in discussions about every subject and their brains are like sponges. Our school is located in a rural farming community. Students come from divers families. Our district is a title one district.

Creativity and the love of learning are nurtured throughout our school day.

My students cannot get enough of problem-based, real-world, hands-on learning. They are eager to work together to find solutions and discuss new ideas. I love teaching these creative, ready to learn, marvelous kids!

My Project

Hands-on activities get my students so excited to learn. Every week we love to do a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) activity. Students are challenged to work together to build and complete a challenge. For example students study and learn about roller coasters. They plan and draw their ideas. They are given supplies such as plastic plates, tape, a cup and a marble. Next, the students work together to build their own roller coasters. They add to their original plans and experiment to see what will improve their ideas.

Students love the challenge and their imaginations go wild.

I have holiday and seasonal STEM activities planned for the whole year. I need items like plastic spoons, rubber bands, cups, popsicle sticks, pencils, animal erasers, and so much more to help the STEM activities come to life.
