My Students

My students come from a wide variety of learning situations, from struggling to striving. The school is set within a suburban community near military housing. Even though my school is within a large metropolitan city, it feels like a small community and sheltered, an "island in the hills." Within these hills, we have a variety of ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as several families that have moved here from other countries. Many of our students are also grappling with parents being deployed or on active duty.

Project-based, STEAM exploration is engaging and motivating to all my students, and a tool to building a growth mindset, regardless of their academic level.

My students are exuberant and creative, and I am constantly challenged to investigate new opportunities for them to test the waters in STEM/STEAM learning for all grade levels in TK-5th grade. We also make a concerted effort to incorporate NGSS standards and make them relevant to the students' world and interests. The curriculum is student-driven and ever-morphing to meet their needs in a problem-based learning environment.

My Project

We have received six brand new Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite tablets to use for robotics, as well as other coding and technology explorations. Since these tablets will be used as we follow our robots, it is essential that we have some protective cases to keep them safe from drops and scratches.

With elementary students, it is important to have a case that completely covers the tablet while allowing easy access to all buttons, ports, and cameras.

They also have two types of straps.

This case not only provides all of the protection needed, but it is also ergonomic for efficiency and comfort.
