My Students

My students live in a relatively new community where families of low-income resources were given opportunities to purchase first-time homes near our school. Low-economic resource status generally means they receive a free lunch.

Homeroom class is composed of 27 Bilingual English Language Learners; these are students who enjoy learning through technology.

Self contained teacher this year. Students are eager to learn and express their enthusiasm when they can get on a device and just click away and find information through the internet, reliable information, that will help them in the long run when they enter their high school and college studies.

My Project

These two wonderful products will help students in create Robotics in our STEMS class for our Science Fair. Students will be actively and creatively engaged with hands on manipulatives.

The students will have so much becoming architects and robotics scientist creating and developing models with the Build it your self working kit and the Remote Control Gear Bot.

Discovery and hands on project base learning programs are such a great way for our students to learn and become the builders of knowledge of tomorrow. Once they are creating, working together in groups the possibilities are you know endless. Thank you.
