We have decided to compile a book at the end of the school that incorporates all newsletters, photographs and writings from the students instead of doing a monthly newsletter for each student. Our school implemented a digital newsletter of information for…Read More

I am beyond blessed to have received two grants. This grant allowed me to order a printer in order to make learning accessible in all areas of the school such as hall way and stair steps. The large format printer has a major impact with students because we made anchor charts and motivational posters to hang for all to see and use. At this…Read More

My alternative classroom seating has had a positive impact on my students’ attention and focus. They have their favorite seats.

what an amazing change in literacy practice. Using the coding for literacy tablets was an awesome and worth while investment. The children are engaged and learning has accelerated!!!!

Children have been using their new tablets to code and make stories on PBS scratch Jr. They have learned about plot,setting and characters. We are still looking for an awesome coding app that is age appropriate that focuses on letter identification and phonics.

Our classroom setting should be encouraging to problem solving, creativity, collaboration and critical t…Read More

The students find this method of teaching lack luster, and boring. The s…Read More

Love seeing all these wonderful posts!!

I really enjoyed working with my project even though it was very time consuming. It was very rewarding. The attached Powerpoint shows the process and progress of my project entitled Step on Me Think Outside the Classroom.
