My Students

I teach first grade at a Title I school in West Harlem. Most of my students come from low-income families. My students are bright, motivated, and passionate learners. They are inquisitive children that devour anything and everything that piques their interest!

In my classroom, children's questions and interests drive the instruction.

We pay close attention to children's needs and how they learn best. Kids are always moving and talking. They learn through hands-on projects, games, and explorations. Our classroom environment is really important, because it serves as their third teacher.

My Project

Investigations into physical science and engineering provide children with opportunities to actively explore and control physical phenomena. When children build block structures that include ramps and cause marbles to move on the ramps in interesting ways (such as turning corners, rolling up hills, jumping over gaps, flying through the air and landing in a container, knocking down targets, etc.), they begin to construct a practical understanding of the laws of physics.

The ramp and ball exploration set will allow my first graders to engage in important scientific and engineering practices, such as how to ask questions and pursue the answers, identify and solve an engineering problem, plan and carry out an investigation, make close observations, construct explanations based on evidence, and communicate their conclusions with others.

They are also engaging with important science concepts, such as cause and effect (when I make the ramp higher, the marble rolls faster), patterns (when I alternate the direction of the blocks, the base of the ramp is more stable), systems ( when I move one segment of the ramp, it affects the entire structure), and energy (the heavier marble will knock down a block at the end of the ramp, but a lighter marble just bounces off).
