My Students

My students are hard-working and inspired to make their ambitions come true. Like many school districts, we lack funds to be able to provide students with the materials they need to be successful in the 21st century. Third graders get excited when they see their success with different materials, resources and manipulatives. To see their faces light up as they are figuring out new concepts and life is exciting.

Teachers at my school are motivated by the success of all students both academically and in preparing them for life.

Our school currently serves K-3 students with rigorous academics and beginning next fall 2018-2019 we will serve students K-5. I am a part of a teacher culture that is driven to inspire the minds of young people.

These materials will allow my students to meet their fullest potential.

My Project

The world needs the students of today to become the scientists, engineers, and problem-solving leaders of tomorrow. STEM projects create greater opportunities for problem-solving through technology.

In order for students to have these opportunities, I as teacher, need to be able to provide them with the materials necessary to complete the task.

This is why I need the following materials: LEGO Classic Creative Building Box Set 10704, K’NEX – 52 Model Building Set – 618 Pieces, Grafix Medium Weight Chipboard Sheets, 12-Inch by 12-Inch, Wikki Stix, Chenille Stems/Pipe Cleaners, Plastic Straws, Card Stock, Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil, Craft Sticks, Cups, Woods Balsa , Bamboo Skewers, Ping Pong Ball, and Sand. Students will use these materials in conjunction with the different robotics we have in the classroom to perform STEM activities.
