My students have been working hard in Math Lab. Students are learning through assigned GOOGLE MEET class sessions and have scheduled individual tutoring sessions to help them learn strategies and concepts.

My students are working away on sewing quilt squares that will be made into quilts to donate to local veterans. Many students are taking turns with the sewing machines and completing sections of quilts and face masks at home. Several students who have become really adept at using the machines are tutoring other students during the three days we…[Read more]

I love seeing my kids still motivated about online learning! It’s been hard and challenging in so many ways, but I have also been connect with kids one on one. It has brought them out of their shell somewhat. I pray the kids across Kentucky will reach the potential I know they can reach.

We are currently all virtual; however, my students are making me so proud with the commitment on showing their work. I could not be more pleased with the increase of this since they received their digital notebooks. I am so thankful the opportunities this grant has brought into the lives of my students.

We are still completely virtual and I have not been able to see my students yet to share the bridge building supplies. I have been in contact with Mr. Bell who helped with ordering all of the materials through our district. He says there are some books for me at the board once we are back up and running (those would be for the heart application).

Luckily before November I was able to order and distribute my materials to my students. However, at the beginning of November my school district, Perry County Schools, shut down until the beginning of the year. Now that we are back in school I plan to reassess my students for any back slide and take back off as soon as we can.

Kinder Kits can change the way my students learn this school year. I sent kits home to all my Kindergarten students that had manipulatives for Science, Social Studies, Math and Reading. Included in the kits are ten frames, good for you reward kits, bug discovery kits, story boards and number and letter practice books. I plan to use these kits to…[Read more]

Raised Gardens for the enjoyment of others is one of the goals of my students this year during this trying time. My students have created a materials list by using Google Meet and then calculating how much it will cost for these materials. Next, they completed the purchase order, so it will get approved by the administrators. They are not only…[Read more]

Giving comfort to those who are experiencing severe health issues is something that my class is working on this year. While we are working on the Fleece lap quilts for the Hospice patients, we are hoping to improve our Math skills, especially in the area of measurements and long division. My students are improving with each lesson and are…[Read more]

For Case Studies that captivate, I planned and purchased materials that would assist my students in learning material and being able to have visuals during our stint of online learning. We are using a series of NSTA Ebook Interactives to complete a unit on cellular transport. The interactive books have read alouds, learning checks, images that…[Read more]

My students received their first “take-home” bag with manipulatives for the month of January. This included place value blocks, a paddleboard, marker, eraser, and a dice. These are the manipulatives for math that we will use the most. I am most excited about the month of February where we are going to have a wide range of materials in our bags.…[Read more]

Examples of great teaching and learning!!!
