My Students

Our elementary students come from a rural area in the east-central part of the state. We are a Title I school. We need to encourage a love of learning and motivate students to persevere and work together with their peers. When students are engaged and they are interested, that's when learning takes place.

All students deserve a chance to have a positive experience and success at school.

I want to provide a classroom where students enter the classroom and right away are able to engage and interact with their peers​ while learning at the same time.

My Project

I would like to bring more STEM education to my fourth grade students. As an inclusive teacher, I have this ability. I want to get Sphero Robots for students to be able to see the effects of coding. Students can also use error analysis to problem solve through coding and robotics. They will see how math and science are connected through activities with the Spheroes. This can help bring math and science alive for students in all grade levels.

Having more STEM activities inside the classroom with the Spheroes will help bring math and science alive in an authentic way!

Students will get 21st century skills that they will be able to use for a lifetime. The Spheroes can be used in a center activity or as a whole group demonstration. Students can start to understand NASA's mission to get us to Mars and how coding and robotics are used to get us there.
