My Students

Do you remember classrooms that used just books to learn facts? My students learn best using technology. It is difficult to get excited about data that is just on paper but Empowering Students Through Art truly engages them. They can't wait to come to class and explore.

Envision the classroom of the future where students create their own learning experiences in a "MAKER" classroom.

My 6th-grade science classes are part of a public school in a growing suburban town. Middle school students learn more by doing than reading. Science class is the perfect place to make discoveries. As the new national science standards are implemented, the focus is to develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) lessons. They love to make connections to real world problems. Instead of hearing "Why do we need to learn this?" I get students who can't wait to do things like forensics or other explorations.

My Project

Our classroom has some exciting projects that use Chromebooks but as the devices age, the keyboards start to stick. New keyboards will enable us to continue using the technology. Additionally the audio splitters allow up to 5 students to listen on 1 device. The best part is the Ozobot project.

Students are excited to use Ozobots in a bowling competition using the mini-bowling pins.

They will need to use science and math skills to program and aim the Ozobots to knock down the most pins. They will need to apply their knowledge of angles plus forces and motion to be successful.

You can change their world! Your generous donation will inspire my students to use their brains to solve real world problems..
