My Students

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." Walt Disney

Curiosity is the key to my kids, I love their inquisitive nature the shines through each time I provide a new skill.

My Project

The Pathfinders Summer Institute will be a valuable asset in my teacher toolkit. I enjoyed attending the Winter Institute because it afforded me the opportunity to learn new skills of coding.

I especially loved seeing other educators share what they acquired within their sessions.

Learning from other professional and educators assisted me with finding more engaging ways to reach my students.

I was able to share the Scratch Jr program with my students. It allowed them to create the own digital world with basic coding instructions and tools. They loved creating their characters. Scratch Jr was beneficial to me and my students. I am looking forward to the upcoming Pathfinder session.
