Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are from the most diverse part of Tampa Bay. Because of this, our population is made up of many English Language Learners. When they come into school, for most, it's their first time in school. It is up to us to make sure they get the best quality public education they deserve. My students are young, ambitious, and curious.

School is a time to explore and play, to imagine and create until the end of the day.

Our school is a Title I/Renaissance School. Most of our students are from low-income families which is reflected by our 91% free or reduced-price lunch status. Although my kids face socioeconomic challenges, they come to school every day willing to learn. I get the most satisfaction as a teacher when I see their faces light up when they finally understand something I'm teaching or when I read a book that they are interested in.

My Project

All students like to play a variety of video games. These game are fun and entertaining. I want to provide an opportunity for my students to use Coding Mice to problem solve and expose them to STEM activities.

Jack and Colby want to get the cheese.

Children will problem solve and code the mice to move on a path to get the cheese. This process will take directionality, problem solving, and cooperative thinking to get the job done.

The process of thinking is vital for trial and error problem solving and planning. It will be met with successes and failures in a fun process of coding a mouse to move through a grid and obtain the goal of cheese.
