My Students

Amazing, stupendous, future problem-solvers from a variety of backgrounds. My students do a lot of group projects in world history, science, and language arts. Recently they did a podcast retelling, interviewing or modernizing a myth.

We are a school that emphasizes 21st learning through collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, citizenship, and character.

My Project

Students need learning concentrated on the essentials. For my students, this means critical thinking based on suitable literature that encourages them to analyze texts to find text evidence and write summaries.

Using these novels of Flush and World Without Fish with the high-quality, free online resources from Engage New York will be of the utmost benefit since previously we have been unable to fund this project.

Additionally, it will be a cross-curricular study that will help my sixth graders learn the above-mentioned essentials while also studying important science topics such as balanced ecosystems and earthly stewardship while enjoying rich literature and hopefully having fun in the process.
