My Students

In the STEM lab, my students are hands-on learners, problem solvers, team members, and innovators. They apply grade specific math and science standards to find solutions to real world problems. They are risk takers and mistake makers! They are learning 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, that will make them productive citizens.

I teach at a Title I school in rural Northwest Georgia.

We are a high poverty, high needs school. 84% of our students are on free and reduced price lunch. Many receive assistance from the Saturday Snacks program in our area.

Despite the economic hardships in our school, my students are excited about learning, and they come in each day committed to doing their very best!

My Project

At our elementary school, we are dedicated to educating 21st century learners. We use robotics and coding to help us achieve this at our school. These LEGO Mindstorm robots will be used by our FIRST LEGO League teams. These robots will allow us to invite more students to take part in our after school program. Students who participate will have the opportunity to build and then code the robots to compete on the First LEGO League playing field. By participating in the the FIRST LEGO league program, our students will learn valuable skills such as problem solving, collaboration, perseverance, and communication. These skills will not only help my students be successful during our tournament season, but they will also contribute to their success in years to come.
