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 four 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.

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.

We are currently using WeVideo to create videos on many different topics in my seventh and eighth grade STEM classes. I would like some equipment that would help us improve our video quality. My fifth grade enrichment class also creates weekly video news. This new equipment would benefit them as well.

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.
