My Students

Each of my students comes with a unique set of baggage that may include academic deficiencies, social challenges, economic disadvantages, language acquisition and emotional struggles, but they do not let that define who they are. Every day they amaze me with their determination and perseverance. They are eager to learn and ready to tackle the world.

Our classroom culture is built around embracing these unique experiences.

We learn acceptance through character building, collaboration, learning to trust others, and compassion as part of our daily work.

My Project

My students need building materials and games to help enhance their collaboration and problem solving skills. These STEM games will help encourage my first graders to work on concepts while having fun in an engaging way.

One of the best ways to learn is through hands on play.

These items will help to create a STEM center within our classroom where students can spend time each day applying our math concepts into practical learning. During this time, my students will use these materials to build instead of using digital tools. These materials will go a long way in helping my students realize that STEM learning is more than just computer learning. Please help us to "unplug" from the digital world.
