My Students

Our scholars are explorers: they seek to know more about the world around them in order to better understand their own place on this planet. Outgoing, inquisitive, reflective, quirky, and kind: our students bring many different strengths to the classroom. These kids love science, and not just the explosions/chemicals/excitement part of science; they thrive on investigation and experimentation. They strive to find the truth through scientific inquiry.

Our small project-based school allows our students to learn authentically and personally, and they rise to the challenges we give them.

These young scholars come from urban Baltimore and are eager to take what they learn in the classroom into their communities and homes.

My Project

Today's fast-paced world depends on technology, particularly in the science classroom. Our scholars are often tasked with creating their own digital products such as videos and presentations.

The gift of speakers to replace our broken ones will mean that students in the entire room will be able to hear and participate in presentations rather than crowding onto a carpet at the front of the room.

Headphones will allow students to watch videos and listen to text-to-speech features independently. Many of our struggling readers will benefit from this resource. Students can watch video clips to get inspired before digging into experimental data and sound clips embedded in presentations will now be able to be used.

Currently students cannot often hear videos, presentations, music, or clips. This is particularly challenging for students that have difficulty hearing. Now my students will have another venue to obtain, evaluate, and share information.
