My Students

My school works to make core subjects come alive for our students. Core concepts are presented in integrated hands-on, project-based, and immersive experiences. Connections between disciplines are highlighted and learning is set in a compelling real-world context.

My students have a voracious appetite for learning.

This is my first year teaching middle school and I had no idea how inquisitive they can be. I have to be prepared for just about anything because I never know what direction will grab their interest.

My Project

Since the beginning of the year, we have been coding two days a week during science class. My students have taken to it better than I could have hoped. We have done text-based coding and graphics-oriented coding. Our next step will be into physical computing.

Taking programming into the physical world will allow us to explore the world around us using computing.

This will excite the students and allow them to become a resource for the rest of the school. We have requests for monitoring stations for our beehives and saltwater aquarium. The requested sensors will help us reach that goal.
