My Students

My students may not come from the greatest homes or have a wealth of experiences, but they do give 100% plus when they come to school. We talk about challenges and how to face them. We talk about staying positive no matter what our situations. We are always learning from each other. To see the smiles on the faces of my students daily makes me one lucky person. It makes me proud to see the resiliency in my students that come from challenging backgrounds.

For most of my students, school is the place where they gain experiences and feel safe.

My students attend an inner-city school that has Pre-K through 5th graders. Most of the student come from diverse backgrounds and struggle academically. School is a place where they are able to learn about technology, as most students have no internet access at home.

My Project

I have been teaching at various grade levels for 24 years. My current school is located in a high poverty community. Despite the unfortunate situations my students face, they are facing adversity head on and becoming successful students! My students are energetic, caring and extremely eager to learn new things.

They love to explore and become engineers for the day!

We do this with hands-on experiences and lots of discussions with our classmates. I try to the best of my ability and within my means to provide my students with the most engaging activities possible.

These centers will cover our STEM goals, they will also help my students practice working cooperatively in small groups!
