My Students

I currently have forty-five unique fourth graders who are eager to learn every day in my math and science classes. My classroom is fully immersed in STEM learning and we do our best to ensure all students have access to various technologies and STEM materials that are not available to them anywhere else. While they are using these materials every day, they are moving throughout the classroom as part of our student-centered environment.

My fourth graders love to learn about anything, especially when it involves coding, making, and building!

They love to be actively engaged and it shows when they are using materials they love. This inquisitive group of kids continues to amaze me each and every day! They are native digital learners but do not have the equipment available in school to show off their skills.

My Project

Every students should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Having a classroom set of Hummingbird kits will inspire deep and joyful learning in all students through creative robotics. Hummingbirds are designed to encourage open-ended, creative engineering and design projects. Students will be able to make robots, kinetic sculptures, and animatronics using the kits.

Students will be able to complete projects using the kits in any of their core subjects.

Students may decide to interpret scenes within a story or poem, they can recreate a moving muscle they learning about in science class, or model the motion of the solar system. These engaging kits offer creative ownership to students when creating a project with a team or on their own.
