We are still in the middle of our research project. We are working on developing doodle notes to help increase retention of math concepts. I look forward to sharing my results!

In preparation for upcoming videos for our YouTube channel “React to Reading,” students have been practicing literature circle roles. We have also been practicing reading strategies daily. It is our intent, through this grant and YouTube channel, to inspire children to read, as well as offer reading strategies. Soon we should be ready to start…Read More

In order to prepare students for the next level of mathematical learning, I need to ensure that they are retaining the information tha…Read More
