My Project

My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day. I am teaching six sections of STEM classes at four different grade levels in our middle school. My classes are STEM, Robotics, Digital Applications, and Pre-engineering design. I am loving all the unique learning that is happening. My classes have been filled with robotics, designing, planning, creating, building, critical thinking and so much more!

Design is a universal language where students can be as creative as they would like.

I want my students to be able to take designing as far as they want to.

The tiles, magnetic vinyl, mini heat press, engraver, earring kit, faux leather, tools, and modge podge are all for my eighth grade classes that are busy designing and creating. I can't keep up with all they want to learn and do. This should help challenge and take them a little farther.

The cardboard, scissors, rolls, and duct tape will be great for my fifth grade builders in their projects.

Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
