My Students

My classroom consists of many different levels of students. I have some students who require enrichment activities to intrigue their interests and curiosities at a higher level and some students who thrive better off of a more hands-on and tactile approach. All of my students become fully engaged when lessons are presented in a kinesthetic approach.

My students all seem to learn best when working together with partners or in small groups.

They teach each other their own learning styles. Lessons that are tied into the standards, presented with a "hook" or "phenomenon" spark their interests and helps them begin the learning. These hands-on tools enhance that learning and help my students retain the information longer.

My Project

Make learning fun by making it as much hands-on-learning as possible. My students study life cycles and what a better way to have them experience the life cycle of a chicken then through a real world experience!!

Bring the exciting life of a Rural Farmer into the Suburban Classroom by helping us learn how to hatch chickens!

We are so excited to learn about the life cycle of a chicken and now we have this fantastic opportunity through donors choose to receive all the products necessary to read, study, learn how to and grow our very own baby chicks! Wow!!
