My Students

We have been practicing distance learning for over two months now, and in that time I have made many educational videos for my students. I have read them books and used a variety of different online platforms in order to keep them engaged.

My students love being able to see and hear from me, and it brings a smile to my face when we do live class readings!

I love being able to share how we can use our skills around the house. I am so proud of my students and all that they have done.

My Project

I have always incorporated STEAM into my teaching, and have even led specialized groups during Enrichment and After-school activity time. My students have always been exceptionally responsive to LEGOs because of their ease of use and creativity involved.

I plan on creating educational videos for distance learning using the LEGO Education Spike Prime Set that I can use now during distance learning as well as when we return back to traditional instruction.

This set will engage my students because of the fun of LEGO and the vibrant colors, but also teach them to follow a multi-step process as well as a variety of STEAM lessons.
