My Students

My students will range from kindergarten to fifth grade, they are eager to learn and not afraid to take a risk. Students come from hard working dual income families living in a suburban area outside of Houston, TX. We have a thousand plus students in our school. Next school year we will have two teachers in a nontraditional library, learning community and need resources to engage and encourage problem solving. Students will come to the learning commons with different backgrounds and skill sets; however, they all love the opportunity to explore and discover.

My Project

Entering a new year comes with new goals and desires to reach more and more students. As our world recognizes the need for STEM in children we as educators and those who support education need to provide them with the tools to discover their world around them.

This requested Lakeshore Learning STEM bundle and other STEM resources will help us develop learners of a STEM generation.

Students need as many possibilities to explore using hands-on activities and materials. This STEM bundle is geared with activities for students in the 4th and 5th grades; included are project-based labs where the activities are step-by-step and students complete in order—culminating in an in-depth engineering activity that really brings concepts to life. I am also asking for grade level work books that will help continue STEM concepts. Last but not least I have requested a Fairy Tale STEM bundle that will make the connection to literature. In the Learning Commons rotation we will touch each student in the school, no matter their background or ability. The possibilities are endless, if they can dream it, then they can discover it.
