My Students

We learn together at a small neighborhood school in Philadelphia. My students are special to me because this is the neighborhood I grew up in. We are a classroom that includes all ranges of learners and abilities. It's truly a community because of its small size and really allows for us to be a family. Our kids are inquisitive. They love learning and being involved in all sorts of activities. They are creative and funny.

We love to challenge them to take ownership of their learning and they are always ready to respond and make it happen.

We try to rise to the occasion and discover new ways to learn and we try new things to help make that happen. We are a group that really tries to be the best people we possibly can. I wouldn't trade these kids for the world because they are all really unique. We are really bonded by our sense of community and our belief in our core values of inquiry, investigation, collaboration, and reflection within a culture of care.

My Project

We're super excited to work in our makerspace this year and really utilize our core values. One of the ways that we can do that is by having access to a vinyl cutter and heat press to make a variety of items including t-shirts, signs, mugs, and more! We're going to use our core values to help think through and design awesome products that we can put to our school community.

The beauty of this project is that ANYONE, even a kid, can be taught to make!

Our students will learn how to iterate, design, and create projects that hold special meanings to them and bring them to life through the use of these machines. It will help them to incorporate all of their learning throughout their subjects and bring it together. Reading a book in class? What about some non-fiction articles about causes we care about Let's figure out how we can design an advocacy poster to support that cause. We need to raise money for a school activity? Let's design and create the products we need to sell. These machines open up an endless world of possibility for making for students and inspire future careers!
