I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." Confucius- Chinese philosopher and reformer
My school is in the San Fernando Valley, in the city of Los Angeles, and serves very diverse students with many different languages represented.
My students come from both middle-income homes and low-income homes, with different levels of parental support.
As we look forward to the new school year, it is my goal to help my students learn more about how the world works through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) challenges.
These tasks provide hands-on activities that require problem-solving skills, creativity, innovation, and collaboration. The students would use wooden blocks, index cards, marbles, toothpicks, and other materials to develop critical thinking skills as they complete the STEM challenges.
As our world changes and grows, we are constantly moving toward careers centered in STEM. It is my goal to begin working towards that future success at an early age.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
