My Students

My students are 21st-century learners who are eager to use all of the technology available to them! I teach 25 curious fourth-grade scientists in a small Title I school that has an amazing and supportive principal.

My students are eager to learn and their brains are sponges that absorb any and all information given to them.

Everything is a potential investigation or experiment to them, so I strive to provide my students with as many learning and project-based opportunities as possible. I constantly enhance the school curriculum and students' intrinsic motivation to learn more by infusing STEM correlations whenever possible.

Because of our small school size, funding levels are not as high as other schools in our area. Grants and projects like this one become an integral part of how I obtain resources to supplement learning experiences. I truly believe that the future lies in our children. They have virtually unlimited potential, and my job is to enable them to reach it.

My Project

COVID-19 changed our way of life. It certainly changed the way I teach. Gone are students collaborating on a rug and working at round tables together on math and science projects. Students had to make a major adjustment with nearly all assignments being completed on a computer or tablet. In addition, teachers, such as myself, have to also make major adjustments in how we deliver content to our students without having to constantly create new datasheets and work assignments.

That's where Spelling/Vocabulary City comes in!

With this subscription, I will be able to provide my students with language arts and vocabulary practice that is perfect in this time of remote teaching and learning. In addition, the journals will provide paper and pencil reinforcement activities that will supplement the online curriculum and give them some time away from the computer screen. My students will be provided with many activities that are not only in line with the standards but are project-based, creative, fun, and easy to use and assign.
