My Students

My third graders are very fun, loving, caring, and eager to learn! They walk into my classroom every day ready to make amazing things happen. We have a saying in my class, “Amazing Things Happen Here”, and that is what they strive to do each and every day!

My Project

Breakout EDU is an online platform that my students can use to help them navigate through puzzles using the skills they are learning in class. They will use what they learn to help them problem-solve to find the solutions. For example, learning about bees in science, they can use what they know about bees to help them to solve a Bee Breakout! Technology is part of our everyday lives and my students love using it in class. This will motivate them to collaborate and put their learning to the test!

The K'Nex Makers Kit and Bridge building set will allow students to use what they are learning in our engineering and science classes.

They will be able to use these hands-on manipulatives to gain a concrete understanding of how real-world equipment works.
