My students are incredibly bright, excited and active. They love hands on experiences that enhance their learning. I teach at a Title 1 school where the majority of students live below the poverty line. We are a beautiful and widely diverse school! My classroom has several students from diverse backgrounds who speak several different languages.
My dream is to have the fundamental tools necessary for creating science, technology, and engineering experiences.
My students learn best when the tools are in their hands! The only thing missing is the tools!!!
My Project
These STEM items will be the catalyst I need to launch educational careers built on investigation, exploration, and creativity! I hope to expose my students to several opportunities to see themselves as problem solvers, creative thinkers, and engineers.
I hope they will leave my classroom feeling confident in their ability to build, create, and problem solve!
I also hope that these tools will create opportunities for students to engage in social emotional learning through the inevitable challenges of teamwork and collaboration in the face of hands on challenges.
There are several students in my room with IEP's, PTSD, and other disadvantages. Our campus has limited access to extra tools for sciences and arts. These supplies will give all of my students access to learning and exploring STEM skills.
