My Project

Triple E is a Cultural Arts class that is unique to AACPS. The 3 E’s stand for enhancing Elementary Excellence. The elementary school Triple E classroom provides a fun environment that promotes learning through trial and error. It serves as a launching pad for students to explore different subjects through the lens of the Triple E themes. My classroom is Arts & Humanities with a focus on formative assessment and feedback. This program is designed to spark creativity and teaches students to approach problems with an open mind. Although my classroom does have some STEM centers I believe that the students deserve more diverse centers in our classrooms. These centers will support Project-Based Learning (PBL) units . These centers represent a vital investment in the future of education, providing students with transformative opportunities to engage in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that align with the demands of the modern world.

STEM centers foster critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity—key skills essential for success in the 21st century.

By integrating these centers into a PBL environment, students are empowered to explore real-world challenges through inquiry, experimentation, and innovation. This dynamic approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making learning more relevant and engaging.

The students at Severn Elementary are a diverse group of enthusiastic learners, excited about Project-Based Learning (PBL) and the opportunities it brings. To ensure the successful implementation of these centers, I encourage you to consider supporting STEAM initiatives to help establish and maintain these vital learning spaces in our school.

By investing in STEAM centers, we can equip our students with the tools, resources, and hands-on experiences they need to excel academically and thrive in their future careers. Together, we can empower our students to reach their full potential and inspire a love for learning.
