Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students attend a pre-kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school in New York. My students attend school in one of the poorest congressional districts in the nation - an area with a very high concentration of poverty. Most, if not all of my students are eligible for free lunch.

The expert in anything was once a beginner.

My students are a hard-working group who are persistent and determined to do well in school. They need essential resources to enable them to maximize learning opportunities and help them to do their best work every day.

My Project

Learning how to code is an important skill for young students! Communicating, collaborating, creating, and critical thinking are essential 21st century skills.

The Botley coding robots were created with the young programmer in mind!"

"Play is the highest form of research" ~Albert Einstein.

For this project, I am requesting a Botley coding robot so my first graders can work collaboratively as they learn important STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts and skills. With these resources, my students will not only learn the basics of writing code but will use problem-solving and critical thinking skills learn how to debug (or rewrite code) to operate and control the movements of the Botley robots. Further, they will also learn and be able to identify the pros and cons of self-directed learning as it relates to learning code, The robots will enable them to learn how to write code for the robots that will have the robots detect objects - and moves around them, follow looping commands and navigate an obstacle course.

With your help, my students will learn the basics of coding in fun, interactive ways that promote creativity and critical thinking. They may be beginners today, but no doubt, they are the pioneers the future.
