My Students

My students come in every day eager to learn. Early on, we set high standards and my students work diligently to meet them. We strive to find new ways to make these high expectations fun and help each other along our journey.

My students enter from many different home situations to work together as a family in our classroom.

As a Title I school, many of my students are lacking some of the things needed to fulfill their basic needs. School is a place where they can come for safety, stability, and a sense that they can achieve anything.

My Project

My students need materials including LEGO Classic Set, Play Doh Mega Pack and Learning Resources Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Set for growth and creativity in STEM areas. My students have begun coding weekly this year. The growth they have shown in their creative problem solving and peer communication skills has been tremendous! They are also very motivated by these outside-the-box type of activities.

These STEM materials would provide hands-on, engaging, open ended activities for my students to explore these areas in new ways.

I plan to use a number of everyday items already. These are materials that I do not already have that would make a great addition to our STEM area. The 36 Pencil boxes will be used as storage to make equipment all accessible to my students.
