My Students

I am fortunate to work at an elementary school where students come to school everyday prepared and eager to learn. I am the STEM teacher at the school, so I have the privilege of setting up a brand new STEM lab. My new STEM lab is big and roomy with modernized furniture but I need new STEM books and tools to teach.

My students are eager to learn and with the right tools, I know I can provide a high quality educational experience for them.

At our school we have highly qualified staff, a great community, amazing parents, and most of all, wonderful students.

In order for our students to prosper, we need to provide them with the best possible education. They are our future leaders, craftsmen, educators, engineers, and businesspeople of the world. They need the best education they can get to succeed in life. I love my students and I love being their STEM Teacher!

My Project

Our students are learning about butterfly life cycles. Watching the butterflies grow in the classroom will be fun and motivate them to learn more about insects and life science in general. This project keep our curious learners engaged all the way through out the unit until the final stage when we release the butterflies into the school garden!

As a STEM teacher it will be incredibly rewarding for me to see our students learn and grow-right along with the butterflies!

Magnetic markers, supply cuddy and magnetic file folders stick easily to my writing board and are easy to find when I need them.
