My Students

I teach in a 3-5 grade Behavior Focused, special education classroom. My kiddos have been identified for special education services because they struggle with emotional regulation and externalized (often violent) behaviors. They face challenges with impulse control, emotional awareness/regulation, and, in some cases, academic deficits. Many of these children come from backgrounds where they have faced poverty, trauma and abuse. Helping my students learn to function in society is beneficial not only to them, but to everyone they will encounter throughout their lives.

My Project

The benefits of educational makerspaces are many and varied. While they do not come without their challenges, makerspaces can have a significant impact on student learning and development. With all the loads of technology, arts and crafts supplies and other tools in our makerspaces, finding a cohesive way to organize everything is essential.

One great thing about a makerspace is that it can be filled with all sorts of materials.

One persons waste can become a catalyst for another's creativity. Unfortunately, it is also easy for the space to become a dumping ground, rendering it useless. The key to avoiding this pitfall is organization.

With the storage bins we are requesting, I plan to create a highly organized creative space. In this space students will be able to re-purpose materials in order to turn ideas into inventive projects.
