My Students

Our school is located on the beautiful island of Hawaii. With a student population of well over 800 students in grades K-5, my students come from diverse backgrounds. They come to school with smiles on their faces and the willingness to try whatever may come their way.

They are fun loving, enthusiastic and caring.

They are unique in so many ways.

Their thirst for knowledge is contagious and the pureness in their hearts are sincere. The lessons I learn from my Kindergartners are priceless and immeasurable.

My Project

Due to COVID and the restrictions which are placed upon us, my students are forced to social distance from their friends as they play by themselves.

The items I selected are to inspire creativity and foster problem solving in a fun and engaging way through play.

Students will be able to explore and manipulate these STEM inspired toys in a safe matter.

Creating individual sets for my students will help keep everyone safe as we go through these challenging times but making sure that we don't forget how to keep the FUN going!!!
