My Students

The students of my classroom are a cohort of diverse, intelligent, and hardworking students from around the New York City Metropolitan area. Many of my students receive free lunch and free fare to school. Our school is a selective, public, college-preparatory school with a focus on science, math, and engineering that provides a challenging academic experience that prepares students for careers in science, math, and engineering.

My students are curious thinkers and eager to always learn.

As an educator, I hope to continue to help foster their learning and growth as inquisitive individuals!

My Project

In my science and math classes, students conduct several long term science investigations (Determining the Best Soil to Grow Lima Beans (chemistry), Looking at the effect of soda on chicken bones (chemistry); Designing the optimal Straw Rocket (physics)).

These investigations allow us to help teach students through problem based learning in order to prepare them for dealing with issue in the world.

When conducting these experiments, students must design and carry out these investigations. With the Chromebooks, students will be able to do in-depth research in order to design optimal environments, create effective protocols, and work collaboratively, like scientists. Furthermore, once these projects are completed, the students will create research presentations that will be used to share with our school community and represented at local and national exhibitions.

With these Chromebooks, my students learning will be greatly enhanced as they will have access to a plethora of resources. They will also increase their computer literacy skills which will help prepare them for high school and beyond.
