My Students

My students are a diverse group of thinkers and learners who come together in the spirit of learning. We are a public, urban Montessori middle school, and we are still emerging and growing as a community. We are located in a historically diverse and low-income community. 77% of our students receive free and reduced price lunch.

My students love learning!

They come to middle school with an enthusiasm for their educations and form a strong community. Our Montessori classroom experience is focused on educating the whole child and creating lifelong learners.

My Project

I am requesting programmable robots and a charging cabinet so that my students can learn and apply coding skills. Coding is a valuable 21st century skill that all students should have the opportunity to learn. I would like to create opportunities for students to come to the maker space in the media center to learn about coding, and practice and apply their new skills. These skills will help them to prepare students for future learning and careers in STEM fields.

Sphero robots are amazing tools for individualized learning.

Students will be able to code the Spheros with an app that has differentiated levels of programming based on their knowledge and experience.
