My Students

My students attend a small school in West Virginia. We are a Title I school and are located in a low socioeconomic town. Our students walk through the door every day eager to learn and willing to embrace new experiences.

Technology and STEM education have become the focus of our school, with the hope of opening a world of opportunities for our students.

Many come from broken homes and the drug epidemic is high in our area, but our students are continually trying to rise above. They are filled with passion and hope. Our motto is to believe in ourselves, and with that belief, anything is possible.

Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Our staff and our students work hard to make that a reality.

My Project

Traditional morning work consists of paper and pencil work, and my students are craving something more stimulating. I plan to create morning work bins that will be filled with hands-on learning opportunities.

These materials will help engage students in meaningful activities that will help build critical, creative thinking skills.

Students will be able to grab a bin and manipulate the objects to create a variety of projects. These blocks will help foster critical thinking skills as they follow task cards to build.

My students can also use these materials during the projects throughout the school year. Students love having the ability to be creative with a variety of materials.
