I'm a STEM teacher at the Joseph Hurley K-8 in Boston. 75% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch. It is one of the few schools to offer Dual Language instruction in Boston. As it the case for so many schools, every year the budget decreases as the needs increase.
My STEM class offers the K-2 students the opportunity to learn in an engaging, hands on environment where creativity, problem solving and team work is encouraged and expected. The students learn through the engineering process how to identify a problem, plan a solution, build it, test it, improve it and share it.
The room is fun, loud, active, bilingual and rich in vocabulary that includes all the subjects of S.T.E.M,(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
I taught 2nd grade for 17 years. As a specialist, I expose the younger minds to S.T.E.M. I am loving the teaching and the learning as much as the students themselves.
