  • Engineers In The Making

    Funded Oct 13, 2022

    You never know when an act of kindness can change a person's life. When I wrote this project my goal was to expose my students to different careers and promote creative thinking.

    My students make small groups to analyze the pieces, and connect to the pictures for visual guidance.

    Learned how to make their voices heard and acknowledge different opinions. Practice that being wrong about something is only the path to finding the path to success.

    Thank you thousands of times to care enough, to do something, and trust that your kindness will change lives.”

I teach a 5th Grade inclusion classroom. My class is focused on building social skills and academic knowledge. My students are learning how to manage disagreements and learning how to build knowledge through academic discussions and learning ownership. We've come a long way to learn how to work together as a community of learners, and we are proud of our achievements. These are kids with so much potential, but at the same time, they need positive venues for that energy. I witness everyday how proud they are when they accomplished classwork or they help a classmate. Still, we can do better, I know that there is room to grow as learners and as members of our community.
