My Students

At our Title I school, students rely on the resourcefulness of the school community to seek out tools to help create the most engaging and impactful learning experiences. I have seen firsthand that when my students have the resources they need, to support passionate teaching, they thrive.

My students are curious, brilliant, and compassionate 7th graders who are eager to learn and work together to solve some of the most pressing issues facing our community, from climate change to health inequity.

They are ethnically, culturally, and literally diverse, and are all ready to learn as way to empower our community!

My Project

Modeling equipment, such as the molecular modeling kit and clay, help my students to understand and explain phenomena too small or too big to observe directly. One project my students will complete this year is to turn our classroom into a museum exhibit for the school community to visualize invisible processes in our local ecosystems. Students will use these modeling tools to explain and make visible processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

My students will apply STEM to propose solutions to minimize water contamination in a local waterway.

The mixture separation kit will help students simulate and model methods for filtration.
