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

If there's one question that never leaves my mind as an educator, it's this: How are my classroom systems working for my students right now? At this moment in the school year, resources begin to deplete, and while we're busy as ever, it can be hard to maintain the basic that make everything run smoothly from day to day. That's why I'm making an effort to stay organized with this project, to make sure my students have what they need without having to sweat the small stuff.

I want my classroom systems to function so well that my students and I can focus on what's most important, the learning.

We don't have the time to find a working dry-erase marker, a full tissue box, a tangled headphone cable. That's why I'm asking for supplies that will help our classroom to function at its best. In short, we need supplies that keep us organized, and that's what this project is all about.
