My Students

My students are curious, articulate and excited learners. Our classroom is always bustling with excitement and movement. My fifth graders love learning, working together and creating projects. They have amazing technology skills. They are constantly researching and creating media presentations to share with their classmates.

“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” – Toni Morrison

My fifth graders are always looking for new ways to create their own stories.

My Project

My students would love a way to view and interact with timely science and technology media. We have a wonderful projector however the computer that we use is outdated. We are unable to watch our science interactive videos and documentaries. With a new laptop that is compatible to our projector we can take virtual field trips to science museums around the world. My students are also eager and excited to skype with scientists at zoos and aquariums around the world. They love learning and researching about animals, matter and geology. The use of the new technology will motivate my students to love science research. With the new information they can create artistic informational diagrams and posters for all the children in the school to benefit from.
