My Project

I am fortunate enough to be able to teach 3rd grade at a public school just outside the gates an Untied States Air Force Base. I get to interact daily with military families as well as wonderful students from our community. My classroom is a place where all kids are successful and learn.

Robots and art combined is so cool!

My students are learning about all of the disciplines that make up STEM. This project would introduce my students to a world of coding. They are so energetic and have amazing ideas. They all actively participate in our STEM choice centers every week.
