I teach Pre-K at an Early Childhood School in Texas. My class is a Blended class consisting of At-Risk students based on income, English is their second language, or they are special needs. My students are faced with many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
My students are creative, energetic and always ready to experience something new!
They love to move, read, and learn! Many of them are being raised in single parent households and ALL of my students receive a free breakfast/lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. My goal is to inspire even our earliest students to become lifelong learners!
My Project
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM is important because it permeates every aspect of our lives. Science is everywhere and technology is continuously changing and expanding!
STEM education helps bridge gender gaps sometimes found in Science and Math fields.
These STEM activities can help my students see that Science and Math are more than a class to finish. They will be acquiring skills such as problem solving and higher order thinking that will help them in many areas of their lives. These activities will help them make a connection between their learning in class and real-life situations.
