My Students

In my classroom, I have 23 students and together we work on building a community within our four walls every single day. We work on building relationships with peers, teachers, and other adults in the building to feel a sense of safety and family. Our school is trauma-informed so this part of our day is very important.

My students are strong, powerful and very capable fourth grade children.

The majority of my students receive free breakfast and lunch and some of them are even given a bag of food to take home on the weekends and over holiday breaks. Some students are in foster care while others live with a single parent. These students have been through some of the hardest experiences anyone could ever have to deal with.

Through all of this, STEM bins would have a great impact on my students. STEM bins would greatly boost their confidence in knowing they can complete a project using their knowledge and creativity. It will also open their eyes to more jobs and careers that maybe they hadn't thought of given their backgrounds.

We would be forever grateful!

My Project

My students are really curious and are constantly using manipulatives to ignite their creativity. STEM materials such as pattern blocks, linking cubes, wooden cubes, play-doh, cups, foam balls and magnetic tile blocks will be used in my classroom to enhance students' knowledge and education of STEM. There will be twenty, pre-made STEM bin choices, each filled with different materials, task cards and writing prompts.

Each student will be able to choose a STEM bin in which they are interested in, and use the STEM process to become an inventor.

By introducing and using STEM bins, I am hoping my students will develop a passion for science, technology, engineering and mathematics to become critical thinkers and valuable employees in their future careers.
