My Students

I teach Gifted and Talented enrichment classes for four different schools, in the Grades Kindergarten through Fifth.

Some of my students are non-English speakers, but their love for learning is apparent.

My classes consist of diverse learners from various socioeconomic statuses. Some of my students are from low-performing schools and are very excited about their enrichment class, where we can do hands-on activities in addition to the monotone intervention and repetition that usually takes place. This is usually the only time where they are asked to be creative and develop their talents.

My students do not always come from homes where they are told that their futures are bright and they can become anything they choose. It is my mission to educate them about all the possibilities that await them and to nurture their talents.

My Project

Technology is critical for innovation, yet schools struggle to get students interested in this area. Could teaching robotics change this? This question launched our current project. Pushed out of my comfort zone I have started a Robotics Project with my students.. This is their first experience with Coding and they are having a blast. We currently own a couple of the Dot and Dash for our group of 22 students and we have grown a lot in our understanding of robotics and code. However our learning is limited because of the lack of an extensive curriculum and challenge cards.

"Creativity is the secret sauce to science, technology, engineering and math" Ainissa Ramirez

As educators, we all want our students to be critical thinkers. If you can develop this skill in kids at a young age, it will serve them well for many years to come. Coding is through a STEM Project is one of the best ways I’ve found to do this. My students will Programming Dot and Dash through a curriculum and using the challenge cards will allow my students to discover if they have the aptitude and interest in a job market of the future. These resources will demystify a complex technology and reinforce important science concepts such as collecting and recording data , and testing hypothesis.Furthermore, coding and math go hand in hand. When you encourage coding with your students, you’re also helping them practice their math Best of all, they might not even realize they’re doing math. So those students who claim “I hate math” are still learning some valuable skills that will serve them for years to come.

By donating to this project you will help my students build competencies valuable for today’s world, such as is why we need more STEAM Projects in elementary.
