My Students

My energetic 18 first graders come into school every day excited to learn and delve into our studies. They love books and doing hands-on activities using the latest technology that our district has to offer.

This is a group of children that are truly enthusiastic and eager to learn!

They often can not contain their excitement when we work on new projects in the classroom, especially hands-on activities. I would love to be able to offer them more resources to support their love of learning.

My Project

This innovative bubble STEM kit will help facilitate an exciting engineering learning experience for elementary students. Now that our school has a defined maker-space, this would be an inspiring project for students to develop and design with and end goal in mind.

This engineering kit connects perfectly to the Next Generation Science standards and intrinsic learning through exploration.

Students will be motivated to work collaboratively to reason, build, and problem solve. The kit is equipped with everything the students will need to assist them through the engineering process. The best part is that children will be able to share their creations with the community at the culmination of the unit.
