My Students

Our building is Title I and full of students who love to learn! My students are mostly black and brown. They come to school with a love to learn and a lot of energy! Many of our students are interested in science, engineering and robotics.

My Project

My students love to create and build! They love to use their imaginations and try out new materials. Many of our building materials are older and are starting to show that they have been well loved. My students will be able to use these new materials in different and more creative ways. They love to pretend to be architects and build fancy buildings. They also love to create homes and worlds for made up characters. They are constantly building bigger and better things. The amount of imagination and creativity they have is endless. These materials will not only be fun to use but also help us meet our engineering standards!
