My Students

Our students are energetic, inquisitive, and often times hilarious learners. Our students have an opinions and are not afraid to share it. They change moods and interest often as they soak in all that the world has to offer. They are developing their independent personalities and learning all of the world's possibilities. These are beautiful young people with a passion for life that is infectious. They are part of our school community and challenge our adult beliefs everyday. They will be productive members of our society if they are given a chance to explore.

My Project

These materials will be used as part of a STEM gardening unit. Our students will be redesigning our outdated main quad garden area. The students will calculate how many stones are needed to create an appealing design. These mosaic stones will be on display and welcome community members to our campus. In order to create the stones students will use the STEM design process to research, plan, and justify how their design will benefit our school garden. Knowing that their work will be on display will help build engagement and pride in their finished product. The experience will help students understand how important each individual is in a team project.
