My Students

Technology is the future. Our school is made up of eight hundred children from a mix of backgrounds. These kids have huge dreams and can accomplish so much. They really do have bright minds and just need a little help to get the tools in their hands to prove it. I have decided to turn my Computer Lab into a STEM lab for every grade level, K-5 that will come to my room. I am in need of enriching STEM materials to use to teach the design process and critical thinking.

Our campus is still new and creating an amazing culture as well as becoming a family.

Imagine dealing with the school shutdowns in the Spring of 2020 and opening a new building with not many other children you know from your previous campus and then rebuilding your relationships. It's tough!

We would like to celebrate kids more and add more fun to lessons and classes while using our outdoor learning spaces and indoor collaboration pods. We need this Bluetooth speaker to be able to add that fun and to amplify our voices within these great spaces.

My Project

Our students especially like hands-on and mobile learning tools. Since we serve a diverse group of learners with diverse needs, it is a must for our students to have many resources to meet their needs.

The Oculus will be used to bring to life the incredible animals that live in the ocean.

Students can also see polar bears and visit the arctic. We'll explore space and inspire students to become astronauts as well as create the desire to protect our planet Earth.

Research proves that Oculus sets are an instrumental tool that does relieve some anxieties in students. Students are experiencing incredible amounts of stress from having their life interrupted and dealing with isolation and uncertainties from COVID.
