I teach 26 dynamic second and third graders in a small, Title I public school in Northern California. My students come from diverse cultural backgrounds and family situations; yet, we come together as a class. My students each have their own learning struggles and strengths; yet, each child's individual needs must be met in our second grade classroom.
Each student learns differently; yet, each child has to master second and third grade Common Core standards.
As their teacher, I must find different ways to help each child meet those standards, in two different grade levels!
My Project
My students' favorite times of each week are when our class does STEM/STEAM. From snap circuits to bouncy balls to geodes, I want my students to have fun learning Science, Math, and other core subjects without realizing that they are learning!
Who doesn't love being creative and engaging in hands-on learning activities?
Not only can students learn as they are cracking open geodes or making bouncy balls, but they can go home and share their discoveries with their families and teach others. My students need projects they can work on together to spark their learning juices!
