My Students

What I love most about my students is that they have good hearts and care about others. They are compassionate and are always willing to help each other when they need help. They are very musical as well and love to dance and play the ukulele. Not all have opportunities at home like some kids. But they continue to try their best.

My Project

The drones will inspire students to dream big and develop their 21st Century skills of critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, perseverance and collaboration. They will extend their learning at home by doing research on nature and how they can apply it to drones. Students will go through the Engineering Design Process, or EDP, to ask important questions, develop a plan, create their drones, experiment and gather data, make modifications, and prepare for the challenge. This project will hopefully lead into the district drone competition at the high school level. This will help to develop relationships with other elementary schools and get my students excited about science when they enter high school.
