Keep Calm and Create

Help me give my students an engaging Stem and Makerspace classroom. Covid-19 has put a hold on hands on learning, but the 2021-2022 school year will allow me to get students moving and hands on once again.

My Students

I will be teaching students ranging from kindergarten through 5th grade as a Stem/Innovative Teacher. I will be working with them to focus on their creative, engineering and problem solving skills. So many children learn better hands on and students thrive off those opportunities.

My students are hard workers, problem solvers and creative.

They will be given a makerspace, where they will be able to be creative, engaged and challenged. At their age, it is so important to give them the opportunity to show what they can do with the materials available to them. My students are problem solvers and can work as a team or independently to find a solution.

My classroom will provide students with the space they need to think outside the box. I want them to be excited to learn in different ways.

My Project

As we move into the next school year, I want to provide students with a fun, bright and engaging classroom.

If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.

That includes using Stem and Makerspace models to teach my students.

In their Stem classroom, they will invent, collaborate and become problem solvers through real world challenges. In their Makerspace classroom, they will be able to create , socialize, and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. Children given the opportunity to their imagination allows them to thrive in the classroom.
