My Students

For my students to be able to compete with their peers from more affluent areas and internationally, it is vital that they start to get invested in their education at school and in the home. It is my job as their teacher to connect students with the resources in the classroom that will provide them with the education that they so rightfully deserve. They inspire me each and every day to find new resources and programs to support them the best way I can.

My scholars are motivated, determined, smart, and loving children that love to learn and strive to lead.

They come from all different types of homes, but the one thing they all seem to have in common is that they love to come to school and learn. We are lacking resources that enhance learning, promote diversity, and encourage exploring new concepts.

My Project

My first-grade scholars love to build and create things. Recently, I introduced them to coding and they are begging to have more experiences with the program.

I envision that the Sphero mini robot sets will elevate my scholars' growing curiosity about computer science.

Engaging in activities with engineering and robotics principles will provide them with early access to learning opportunities that will spark their curiosity and open their eyes to what their future could be (if they choose that path).

The learning opportunities with Sphero mini will plant the seeds to grow little engineering computer scientists and roboticists. My hope is that by providing early access to these STEM subjects, my scholars will be inspired to learn more about them in the years to come. Perhaps even in college.

Help me introduce my scholars to engaging STEM projects that they normally don't get to experience.

Thank you in advance!
