Spheros! Teaching Our Future to Code!

Help me give my students 5 Spheros to help them learning beginning coding skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hefley's classroom raised $354

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our first-grade class is the best place in the world. It is a magical place where children learn amazing things about the world around them. They develop creativity and enhance their imagination. They become more independent, while still aiming to please!

In our classroom, we become like family!

We help each other, we teach each other, and most importantly we love each other!

My Project

I have often heard it said that we are teaching children for jobs that have not even been created yet! It is my job as a teacher to open as many doors possible for my students to be able to realize their potential! Coding has become such an integral part of our world!

I will use these Spheros to open that coding door for my students!

I am looking forward to seeing my students use their critical thinking skills to problem solve and create using this amazing, kid-friendly technology. It will be an awesome way for them to collaborate and communicate problems and solutions!
