My Students

My Kindergarteners are amazing little scientists, tech experts, engineers, artists, and mathematicians who want to be inventors. "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious-the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science." -Albert Einstein

My students are a diverse group of Gifted Kindergarteners from all over Chicago.

Our small school fosters a love of Technology, Science, Art, and Engineering through Language Arts and Math projects that engage our students. My Kindergartners are inquisitive and bright. They love learning by doing and working as teams. These are amazing five and six year old students who constantly surprise me and keep me excited to help them reach their goals.

My Project

Little Bits Electronic modules are kid-friendly pieces of technology that allow children to work within every subject area to create projects that deepen their understanding. The hands-on components are easy to use but complex and versatile so they grow with the students. Through real-life scenarios and design challenges, the students will solve problems using technology. The STEM bundles from Lakeshore help the students apply Science, Engineering, and Math concepts to some of their favorite activities and stories.

Donations to this project will transform our Kindergarten classroom into a project-based, technology-friendly environment.

This project allows the students to problem-solve as a group. By donating, you are supporting a classroom of creative tinkerers and rockstar innovators. You are helping me become the best coach I can be for the youngest minds in our school.
