My Students

Hello! I am the STEM teacher, and I teach children from PreK to 5th. I am looking forward to introducing the world of STEM to my students. It is so exciting to be teaching these children how to be real-world problem solvers using 21st-century skills. My students are 39% ELL. This is the first time in school for many of these students from other countries.

I also have an ICT class for each grade and a horizon, which is an 8:1:1 program for autistic children (K to 3) as well as three 12:1:1 (K to 4).

My school is also a Title I school, which qualifies 97% of the students for free lunch based on their economic status.

My Project

This project is to be used with my kindergarten horizon class (8:1:1) and my K,1,2 Bridge class (12:1:1). The students in these classes LOVE robots. I am trying to find a simple way for them to learn how to code. Both the Botley Robot and Code and Go mouse are easy to use. I often see my students become frustrated because they can not do something. I want to give them the opportunity through play to learn coding as well as cause and effect. I will be using these robots during partner time. Using these robot will encourage the students to have a conversation about what they are doing or what they are planning to do. Many of my students have a limited vocabulary and I am hoping this will help them to be more social and outgoing.
