My Students

My students love to be active learners. They are very inquisitive students who want to know the ins and outs of everything they interact with. I picked my students up today to begin class, and they each had something they just couldn't wait to share with me ranging from how excited they were to make ice cream today, a hands-on project that turned liquid into a solid, to how a big brother helped one student with her homework last night. Each student was so excited to be at school.

Sometimes this excitement makes me forget the environments that most of my students survive in while they are not at the school building.

Some students have no help with homework at home because mom works overnight in order to ensure they have a safe place to live. These families are struggling, but my students still put on smiling faces each and every day when they walk into my classroom.

My Project

My students are SO excited to explore and learn with new and different STEM materials. We are headed to Legoland because of a Donorschoose grant (Thank you!) and I thought it would be GREAT to continue our STEAM learning when we come back to the classroom! In order to do that we need a variety of LEGO blocks, LEGO boards and a LEGO inspiration book. The students will be able to use the LEGO inspiration book to design, build and engineer new and different creations! This will be an outstanding connection to our trip to Legoland AND a wonderful learning experience for my students!
