My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

I admire their tenacity and willingness to conquer difficult tasks.

I love their eagerness to learn and I am inspired by them daily! They have made learning each day an adventure!

My Project

Imagine walking into a classroom with every student fully engaged in the learning process. They are working collaboratively with their peers, using technology, and trying new things. That's what Spheros will do in my classroom!!

We live in a technological wold, where the next movers and shakers need to be proficient in technology.

Adding Spheros to the classroom gives my students the opportunity to try out the new science standards which emphasize project based learning. Students will also get to try their hands in coding, problem solving, and logical reasoning.

This type of learning isn't new, but the technology is!
