My Students

You know you've got a fun classroom when you and your students sing part of the Mickey Mouse March as your attention getting signal! My classroom focuses on instilling a love for learning as well as an understanding of the magic of imagination.

My 25 little Mouseketeers love my Disney themed classroom and often refer to it as Disneyland.

I teach a group of fun loving, creative, and caring students who exhibit perseverance on a daily basis. Our school has an open-space concept, meaning that while we do have separate classrooms, they are all joined by a hallway at the back and we have no classroom doors (it's a hard one to explain!). Learning in open-space allows the students to develop a stronger sense of community because other students, teachers, and the principal are always within reach. My class loves to share things from home with each other, donate odds and ends to our class store, share their ideas about their learning, and just be together. Their hearts and minds amaze me daily.

My Project

Have you ever been in a room where 25 videos were playing, with the volume turned up, at the exact same time? Well, speaking from experience, it definitely is NOT the learning environment I want my students to be trapped in! Each of my students will receive a pair of headphones to use with their Chromebooks. Throughout the day, my students spend time watching videos and completing interactive activities that require sound on their Chromebooks. With the headphones, they will all be able to hear what they need to hear, and progress successfully at their own rate (because they won't be distracted by the sound of other videos or feel the need to hold back in order to not distract other students with their videos).

Receiving these headphones will allow our class to move through the day more smoothly, with fewer interruptions.

With headphones, the students can progress at their own rate without other students being aware of whether their peers are ahead of them or behind them. The headphones create more ownership of the learning and it becomes an individual process more than a competitive one.
