I am lucky enough to have an extremely diverse group of excited learners coming in to my fourth grade classroom. My students come from all different backgrounds and learn in several different ways. They are all happy to be at school and are ready learn new things with their first year being in the upper grades.
My students are fantastic at exploring new ideas and finding new methods of learning.
I am so excited to be their teacher this year and see what they will accomplish.
My Project
STEM is a fairly new learning method used in schools that allows students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM is more about student led learning and has to be proven to increase engagement in classrooms all over the country. These are also a fun, motivating way to encourage students to learn on their own.
These activities are great for fast finishers or when students have to stay inside for recess.
These times are often spent with busy work that doesn't truly fulfill a child's education. These materials will help me to increase science enrichment during the school day.
