My Students
In our classroom, the children rise to the challenge of meeting and exceeding the rigorous demands of the curriculum. Each day the students strive to become fluent readers, capable writers, and develop a sense of science that provides understanding. Learning is fun, and smiles are abundant in our class!
Since our school is Title 1, our goal for each student is for them to become successful scientist and readers in school and life.
A strong foundation will provide the stepping stone they need to excel and have opportunities to succeed. Most of my students live in financially assisted housing and receive free lunch. Although they are poor financially, they are rich in heart! The entire school strives to nurture the students with love and knowledge. High expectations are producing results. Students in our school know that education is the key to becoming productive members of society.
My Project
The Qball is designed to support learners of all ages while addressing needs of classroom teachers. The Qball is a throwable, wireless microphone for classrooms that looks like a ball students would toss on the playground. The main benefit of the Qball is it helps encourage student participation in classroom discussions. The Qball adds a kinesthetic touch to classroom conversations, Socratic discussions, and moments when a whole or small group of students come together to talk about their learning. Students can use the Qball to answer questions, and will aid in keeping students attention when listening to others speak.
The Qball encourages students to participate, and like a talking stick or similar tool, it helps manage classroom discussions — if you have the ball, you have the floor.
Since the Qball is a throwable, wireless microphone for classrooms, it was designed so that every student can be heard. The Qball amplifies the voice of every student making it perfect for large classrooms and small classrooms, where students can benefit from hearing and understanding their peers clearly.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
