My Students

Our students come very diverse backgrounds. Blue collar, white collar...farmers and CEO's. Our community hosts a wide range of experiences and incomes. Located in a township without a post office, our school struggles to make ends meet at times. We aren't Title One, but could be. We have a very strong community presence in our school, which helps, but constant budget cuts means less money.

Even with these obstacles, our community is eager to see their children achieve a higher level of academic success than previous generations.

In today's world, being literate in technology is an essential skill. We hope to prepare and enrich our students for such a tech-based world.

My Project

The students will code the Code-a-Pillar to identify letters, sight words and numbers. Students will also code to build or identify correct sentences. The Code and Go Robot Mouse will be used in Literacy, Math and Science centers and will engage students in problem solving to get through the maze. Through these activities, students will have the opportunity to problem solve together.

Code-a-Pillar and Robot Mouse makes STEM come to life!

This will inspire young students to develop critical thinking skills through use of hands on robotics.

Students can follow up with these coding activities by drawing and writing about the adventures of the Code-a-Pillar and Coding Mouse.
