My Students

My students come from a wide variety of learning situations, from struggling to striving. The school is set within a suburban community near military housing. Even though my school is within a large metropolitan city, it feels like a small community and sheltered, an "island in the hills." Within these hills, we have a variety of ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as several families who have moved here from other countries. Many of our students are also grappling with parents being deployed or on active duty.

Project-based, STEAM exploration is engaging and motivating to all my students, and a tool to building a growth mindset, regardless of their academic level.

My students are exuberant and creative, and I am constantly challenged to investigate new opportunities for them to test the waters in STEM/STEAM learning for all grade levels in TK-5th grade. We also make a concerted effort to incorporate NGSS standards and make them relevant to the students' world and interests. The curriculum is student-driven and ever-morphing to meet their needs in a problem-based learning environment.

My Project

A variety of supplies for science and STEAM make learning fun! Included in this collection is a venture in 3D art and design, 3D glasses, UV-activated beads, owl pellets, scissors, plastic dinosaurs, and more.

STEAM supplies always need replenishing and renewing in order to keep the learning fresh, engaging, and relevant.

The STEAM Lab does not have a set curriculum, so we are always looking for ways to grow and develop with the current students and learning climate. The lab supplies will add to the variety in the STEAM Lab.
