My Students

I teach six and seven years old students who have unique talents and abilities. Most of the students are classified as gifted and talented. There is a lot of differentiation in STEM learning that goes on because of their learning styles and their different abilities which varies by subjects and content areas. The biggest standout about my students is how they treat and refer to themselves, “We are a class family.”

The use of technology is a great leveler for the different learning styles of my students.

They are willing and able to share more, be better communicators, and team players when technology is involved in their learning. My students are very patient and innovative young people. They are very creative and expressive with their drawings. Having access to more technology will help enhance these skills and make them lifelong goals.

My Project

Imagine that you were in an environment where heavy objects were being delivered and you needed to move them to other locations. You are not going to be able to lift up these objects with your hands. You will need to be creative with the materials you are given or are able to create with objects around you.

Students will work in small groups using LEGO blocks and WeDo 2.0 kit to create the environment they are in and the machines they will need to help them move these needed objects to where they are needed.

They will create designs, explore those designs and if problems arise, find solutions to them.
