My Students

I have the most amazing group of gifted students in the world! They are so hard-working, and we have worked really hard this year to build a community of friends who care for each other. Gifted students greatly enjoy using their creativity and engineering abilities to create very unique masterpieces.

We spend each day using our differences to better ourselves by learning from each other and finding new ways to create masterpieces!

Although we are from many different backgrounds, we all come together as a team and get things done! We love to learn in new and exciting ways!

My students are learning and showing responsibility every day! I can't wait to see them learn and grow!

My Project

These resources will be used during our units of study while focusing on structures, building, and engineering. During these units, we will be exmining the ideas of spatial and fluid reasoning as well as dexterity. Using their creative abilities, students will use these resources to expand their ever amazing creative masterpieces!

The requested STEM supplies provide a variety of opportunities for my students to get to display their creativity and engineering ability.

Hands-on learning is one of the most important types of learning- especially for many gifted students. These resources give us the opportunity to learn in this way. We appreciate all of the support!
