My Project

Please support storytelling and innovation in my Gifted Classroom. The Kindergarten Through 2nd graders have been learning about fairytales and completed STEAM activities with each tale. For example, they had to make a beanstalk at least three feet high using straws, pipe cleaners, and three feet of tape. Now, they must choose a favorite story, write a script, and create puppets to tell the story.

My 3rd-5th graders just started a unit on Ancient Greece.

They will learn about innovations, culture, and mythology. Their activities will include creating their own Grecian pottery (The terra cotta pots and sharpies) and building columns. They will also learn about lifting devices, the catapult, and other Greek inventions. For both groups, these activities will instill critical thinking skills and encourage collaboration. My students are in a remote, high-poverty district in Northern Arizona and about 80% of them are Native American.
