My Students

I teach at a Title I school in Gravesend, Brooklyn, where 100 percent of our students are entitled to free lunch and breakfast. Our student population is very diverse. Students speak a multitude of languages such as Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Creole, Georgian, Hindi, Polish, Spanish, Hebrew, Cantonese, Uzbek, and Ukrainian, just to name a few!

Our students are eager to learn.

They are creative thinkers that love discovering new things and exploring new opportunities. They are each unique, with their own set of challenges as well as successes!

My Project

I am always looking for new and inspiring ways to bring learning into my classroom. My students are hands-on learners who love to be creative and experiment with materials. I love incorporating information learned in the core subjects into the art room. This practice gives the students the opportunity to discover real-life applications of the information they are gaining.

In this lesson we will imagine, design, and build robots that will move and make marks (or draw) as they move across the paper.

The students will use motors, batteries, and markers to learn about engineering, circuitry, and design while using many recycled materials to build the bones of their robots! This will inspire and challenge my students and provide a lasting memory of something they created with their own hands!
