My Students

"Wow, I can't believe I made that!" These are some of the best words that a student can say when learning hands-on. These are the words that come out of a 4th grader's mouth when it finally clicks and they were able to understand how something works or make a real world connection to their learning. All of my students thrive for hands-on learning, but we don't have all of the resources needed to fulfill their potential.

Many of the students in my classroom come from low-income households.

Like most kids, they want to explore their curiosity. They want to be able to create things and explore how things work. They want to be able to physically see how something works right in front of their eyes. We don't have an art or maker's space class at our school, so I want to give my students this experience. My goal is for students to be able to explore their imagination and to help them figure out how things work. I want them to be able to make real world connections with what they are learning in the classroom.

My Project

All of the resources, that I have chosen, will be used to create maker's space center stations within my classroom. In 4th grade, we do a lot of STEM projects. Our students really like the art side of things, but we don't have Art class. By getting all of these resources, I will be able to incorporate them in order to do STEAM projects, which includes Art within the projects. These resources are going to help students thrive within the classroom by using their curiosity and imagination to create things. Everything that I have asked to be donated will be put to use for my students to learn through their imagination.

The donations from this project will help my students explore their curiosity through hands-on learning.

I am asking for a 3D doodler so that students can create objects and physically be able to hold the object in their hand. In my project, I have also included littleBits, which are modules that students can snap together to create things. Students can create items to help explore how things are made and work. An example would be a type of electronic. Students will be able to create many different things that will help them further their learning and make real world connections. By making these connections, students will have a better understanding of what they are learning.

Some other products that I have asked for are duct tape kits and lego kits. With these items, students will be able to explore their creativity and build things. Often, students learn better when they are able to create a visual representation of what they are learning. Students will be able to use the legos to build and explore. When students can visualize things, they are able to have a more concrete understanding.
