I work with such a wide variety of students and student needs, that it makes my job very enjoyable and every day different than the day before. My kids come from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Serving two schools in a school district that is ever changing gives me the opportunity to work with students who are vastly different from each other, but also very much the same.
The students in my two classrooms are gifted, talented and very special to me!
They may be unique individuals, but they are all bright, energetic, eager learners who crave challenges and push themselves more than any group of students that I have ever worked with before. I am eager to create a STEM environment that will foster communication, creativity, critical thinking skills and collaboration.
My Project
These STEM sets are a perfect way to incorporate core subjects into the GATE program in a fun and creative way. My students thrive when given a challenge and I can't wait to see the amazing creations they come up with! Allowing my students a chance to build a variety of structures will give them an opportunity to grow and strengthen their skills in many subjects. They will learn the design process, and will develop stronger self evaluation skills and will use that to improve their work. Presenting and explaining their work to peers will allow them to grow socially. I know that students in my class for years to come will value these sets!
