My students are engaged and ready to learn and they deserve the best we can give them. I teach incredible students that are motivated learners in an Honors program. My classroom is unique because I pull the top 10-15% and provide a curriculum that is both academically rigorous and providing opportunities for extended growth and development. My focus includes language arts and STEAM.
My school is a Title I school, and all of my students receive free lunch.
My students are ready to take on the future!
My Project
Students love to build, but it can be hard to provide materials that are safe and sturdy enough for life size creations. My solution is the Makedo and ZipSnip tools. With these tools the students can cut and attach materials to develop their ideas into life size models. We will use the playing cards and brads to make miniature prototypes before the build.
Empower students with three-dimensional thinking by building their creations.
The exciting part is that they are using cardboard, a free material that they are familiar with. All students can can see themselves as engineers and their STEM learning can be inspired with every box they see.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
