My Students

My students are amazing! They surprise me each and every day and keep me learning more for them. We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.

My students are always ready to try something new/ Because of that, I want to be a better teacher everyday.

I want to grow with them!

Our school is over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

My students love puzzles. They also love robots. They love challenges and solving problems. We are thankful to have multiple kinds of robots in our classroom, but I wish I had one robot for every student. This project gets us three robots closer.

Coding teaches critical thinking, problem solving, design strategies and more.

My favorite part about this robot pack is that it has so many accessories. I can only imagine what my students will build, create, and code using this pack. The more exposure to different types of coding activities, the better. I also love how it is relatively low tech. I can't wait to see them interact with each other and with Botley.
