My Students

My students are amazingly special because they get to learn their curriculum through art integration every day. All the students at our school dance, sing, act, and create using the arts to express their learning. These students stand in front of other classmates, and often the whole school, and do things many adults would be embarrassed or scared to do! They do amazing things every day while learning! Being a magnet school, we have kids from all different towns, neighborhoods, and backgrounds, but they all come to school ready to work together cooperatively.

My Project

These Sphero coding bots will make a difference in my classroom because they will allow student to be exposed to coding and new technology. Once they learn how to control they bots it can be incorporated into other subjects and increase engagement in all areas. These Sphero coding bots will allow my students who are interested in technology to explore what a career in coding might be like. It will also allow those students to become leaders guiding other classmates with how to use this new technology. These coding bots would also help reluctant learners to be engaged in activities they might not normally be excited about.
