My Project

Throughout the school year, my fascinating students enjoy creating, exploring, designing, and building items that capture the third graders' imagination [in addition to the general class subjects: reading, writing, etc.]. It's these characteristics that cause me to appreciate them and their learning ethics truly.

We currently have schoolwide STEM challenges every quarter, and having these kits [Wooden Motor Model Car Kits - to name one], will provide my students with Science experience: Force & Motion; Technology experience: Motion without electricity; Engineering experience: Reading the directions and building the car; and a Math experience: matching pieces based on measurements.

My students will work on these kits during their scheduled small groupings and individual work times throughout the day.

As they continue to work in the STEM way of thinking, my students are preparing to become advocates or change agents for STEM. The outcome of their tasks will help them determine their success level.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
