Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 119

This project was called STEM corner.  It was designed to enhance the education of advanced and gifted learners.  I have 119 students that utilized the STEM activities.  I would have liked to have been able to share it in class and use all the materials that were ordered but due to the safer at home order that was not possible.  I did utilize the distance learning activities.  Many of the distance STEM learning activities could be done with materials found at home.  I only had to mail out materials to 6 of my students that said that they did not have the required materials.  These activities gave the students a welcome break from their quarantine.  They could work in teams over the conference function in Teams and Canvas to help get ideas and share their projects.  Students had to use problem solving skills to design and build specific structures to carry out a specific task.  They had to use their own knowledge but could also use parents and siblings as resources thus making it a family engagement activity.  I think they had a lot of fun and relieved some of their quarantine boredom and stress.

I was unable to take pictures since we are still using distance learning.
