My Students

Hello! I am the STEM teacher, and I teach children from Pre-K to 5th. I am looking forward to introducing the world of STEM to my students. It is so exciting to be teaching these children how to be real-world problem solvers using 21st-century skills. My students are 39% ELL. This is the first time in school for many of these students from other countries.

I also have an ICT class for each grade and a horizon, which is an 8:1:1 program for autistic children (K to 3) as well as three 12:1:1 (K to 4).

My school is also a Title I school, which qualifies 97% of the students for free lunch based on their economic status.

My Project

My students are currently learning about plants and seeds. The students have been learning what it takes for a seed to grow into a fully grown plant. We planted seeds a few weeks ago with much success.

Our plants are currently in 2 inch pots and need room to expand their roots.

These plastic pots will allow our plants to continue to grow indoors until we are able to plant them in a school garden. The other materials listed on this project will provide my visual learners another access point into their learning about plants.

We will then use the plant life cycle magnets and models to analyze our plants in a more scientific way.
