My Students

Every morning when my students enter the classroom they are ready and eager to learn. Our school is a very diverse setting where all students are welcome and loved. My classroom alone is full of students from over five countries. Many of whom are first-generation Americans. My students have to translate their homework to their parents, meet the social and cultural expectations at home and at school, and still find time to give me a hard time when I make a spelling mistake on a presentation. These kids are incredible. After taking an overnight camping trip with them earlier this year, I can honestly say I am truly excited for the future of the world. With these students leading us, it is going to be more innovative, full of kindness, and safer than ever before.

These 5th grade students are creative, hardworking, and have a strong desire to learn.

They have a lot of passion: trying new things in and out of the classroom, constant movement, collaborating, and making the world a better place!

My Project

This project will allow students to expand their creativity across all subject areas. Students are often asked to show their knowledge and understanding through assessment, however we are moving towards applied assessment.

Students will be able to apply their knowledge through this opportunity of creativity.

They are constantly asked to demonstrate their knowledge in a written format. My goal for my students is to move toward project-based learning, taking real-life scenarios/problems and developing solutions.

Differentiating my lessons is key as the students in my room in a variety of ways. If they learn different ways, why not assess them in different ways! I can not wait for my students to be granted this opportunity to enhance their learning experience.
