My Students

Our students come from impoverished neighborhoods, the entire population are eligible for free lunch, and many lack basic “success” tools. What makes them so resilient is they come to school with the desire to get educated the best way they know how. Students who display positive behavior should be celebrated. I am in the process of creating a positive behavior room where students can play games, earn incentives, and hang out with other peers who display positive attributes. Classroom management has become an issue across the board for many educators, but giving kids an incentive to help adjust their behavior for a conducive environment.

My Project

These resources will allow students to engage in a STEM project allowing them to actually build a product and witness a working finished project. This project will enhance the students' ability to use their critical thinking skills, work collaboratively, and share ideas with their peers. STEAM has become an integral part of many school districts, but some lack the funding to provide resources for visual and tactile learners. Having these resources will give some students a chance to witness what they can do while further learning the importance of science.
