My Students

My resilient, hardworking fifth graders have risen to the challenges of distance learning and have quickly and skillfully adapted to these difficult circumstances. They continue to push themselves academically across all content areas to continue their growth and set themselves up for success as they transition to new middle schools next year.

Our fifth graders will begin their final year of elementary school participating in person learning, following a truly challenging year.

Each year, the first six weeks are dedicated to building community and relationships among students. In addition to engaging with rigorous academic content, we incorporate social emotional learning in order to support the whole child in their individualized life and learning experiences.

My Project

Games are a fantastic way for fifth graders to engage in collaborative play to build financial literacy skills. From pattern recognition to managing money, these games require an understanding of math and numbers that they will benefit from in the future.

Following COVID school closures, being back in school full-time presents social emotional challenges for many learners.

In addition to building financial literacy skills, these board games will be instrumental to relearning how to play together and take turns in a safe environment. It is my hope that by introducing a variety of board games, students can engage in playing together in a way that is collaborative and positive. These games will also promote effective communication.
