My Students

Learning comes to life for little learners when hands and minds connect!

Last year solidified this when all students, especially a special needs student, engaged learning through robotics and STEM based activities.

STEM is literally a game changer for young learners.

My enthusiastic second graders are located in a rural setting. 60% of our student population are on free and reduced lunch. These enthusiastic students share the same potential to learn and grow as the students I taught in California's Central Valley and Denver, Colorado.

Geography does not affect ability, but it impacts opportunity. Please help by filling our classroom with books and resources to solidify a growth mindset!

My Project

My students THRIVE when their hands are busy with meaningful tasks!

I haven't met a person that doesn't like to literally see their learning come to life!

Big concepts become easily tangible when hands are at work and Snap Circuits are a fantastic way to make that happen!

Using these Snap Circuit kids I'll be able to teach teamwork, problem solving, math and reading skills to my second grade students.

In the past my student's have huddled around my son's smaller kit with delight. I can only imagine how far our minds will go when we have kits that allow all students to engage richly!
