My Students

My students come from a diverse range of cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds, but they all come to school ready to learn. Their wide range of interests and unique personalities help shape our class community.

My fifth grade students are curious, hardworking scholars who need hands on materials to build STEAM projects.

During distance learning in the spring, my district and school worked to provide each household with WiFi access and devices; however, the students now spend hours doing work on the computer. They love hands-on learning and opportunities to show their creativity.

My Project

My students are working hard through virtual learning, but I know that something is missing...hands-on activities! Please help me build STEAM kits for my students. Your kind donation will put watercolor paint, pastels, and drawing paper into creative hands!

With these materials, I can provide equity in education for the students by providing all students with the materials they need to build marble mazes, construct boats, and create works of art.

These hands-on materials will help get their eyes off the screen, but it will also help build their confidence and provide calm and comfort during this difficult time.
