My Students

In my classroom, students learn that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics can be creative, exciting, and filled with purpose. Students learn STEM by addressing authentic problems in our community, city, and on planet earth.

The student body at my school is diverse in many regards; I teach students from Mexico, China, Yemen, Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic, and several other nations.

My classroom represents a broad variety of cultures, languages, learning styles and needs. Knowing this, I strive to create an environment that is supportive of the diversity my students bring to our school. I believe our differences strengthen us, and my aim is to cultivate a positive classroom community that fosters civic engagement.

Project-based learning, personalized learning, and authentic learning experiences make sure that every student has an opportunity to learn in a dynamic environment.

My Project

Help me give my students a sparkling clean classroom. Throughout the year, my classroom transforms from a typical classroom into a science lab, a makerspace, a gardening area, and other spaces that simply require a lot of cleanup. This year, we've built plastic sculptures to raise awareness about plastic pollution in the world's oceans, we've built a working sailboat as a part of an afterschool boatbuilding program, and we've built an aquaponics setup on our class turtle tank. As we approach the end of the year, I want to ensure that my students have a classroom that is dynamic and able to support these activities, while remaining easy to tidy up. The materials in this project serve the goal of keeping our classroom clean so that learning can get messy!
