My Students

I teach fifth-grade math and science at a Head Start through 5th-grade elementary school in North Miami. Most of my students are high-poverty from Haitian backgrounds and have very limited technology at home.

Unfortunately, for most of our students, Internet access and the use of computers or any kind of technology, are luxuries that they just do not have at home.

My students are always excited to use technology in our classroom, and when we do math or science center activities, they rush to the workstations, in order to explore online resources. As aforementioned, most do not have computer access at home, so the only opportunity they have to learn using technology is at school.

Also, we need consumables and classroom supplies related to math and science, so that our students can get a "hands-on" experience while learning. We are also a STEAM-designated school in our second year and are still not yet up to standard when it comes to technological advances.

My Project

These hands-on math and science learning projects in the form of "The Math Chef" and "The Science Chef" recipe books I am requesting, help to demonstrate many basic tasks that everyone has to do daily, such as learning about cooking, healthy eating, safety in the kitchen, and cleaning.

My students will also learn hands-on about force and motion, the property of magnets, how temperature affects matter, and they will learn how to measure solids and liquids.

These activities will teach facts and skills that will help these students be independent, and students can be moving and be active, while actively learning how to cook and eat healthily.

Each child will have their own chef book/printouts due to CDC guidelines that prohibit them from sharing materials.
