My Students

How many of you remember having to sit at your seat and work all day long at school when all you really wanted to do was stand up and stretch your legs? Kids go from running around outside and playing to sitting at a desk for up to six hours a day when they enter school.

In a public school setting, our students are a welcome mix of abilities, backgrounds, and family support at home.

With a 90% minority population and 40% speaking a second language at home, some of our students are still adapting their dialect to public speaking. They are eager students, always ready to present, and are willing to break out with given time. Flexible grouping allows them to communicate through different learning styles and personalities. With a positive effect, our students are engaged and enjoy working with one another.

My Project

My students are currently exploring with robots as a method of learning coding skills and technology exploration. With these skills, they've even begun to monetize their codes as a method of sharing with one another their knowledge and challenging each other to develop their codes even further.

The Dash and Dot Wonder Pack is the next step in the progression of these students learning how to apply coding knowledge to robotics.

They will be able to add multiple layers to their curriculum. The launcher and xylophone will help integrate the fine arts of music, while the launcher will build upon their knowledge of kinetic and potential energy in their forces and motion science unit.

The ability of the Wonder Workshop Wonder Pack to offer multi-disciplinary learning is invaluable for my students and their 21st-century learning.
