    This is one of my first graders using his Rocketbook at home…while completing virtual work! All his mom has to do is scan the work on the app and it goes straight to my e-mail and google cloud—and the amazing part—he can REUSE this again tomorrow!!!

      Hello! I am late to the party (haha)…with virtual teaching, and now transitioning into a hybrid model, I have been swamped with re-creating myself as a teacher. I am so excited to announce that Beaver Creek Elementary’s first grade was awarded Rocket Books! This is a HUGE deal for us…because of the “smaller” school we are, and the early age of…[Read more]

      I want tablets for my classroom; I would love to become a paperless classroom; or less-paper.

      Flexible seating has been underway in the third and fourth grade classroom since October now! We are striving for proficiency. My behavior management has grew stronger; I have minimum interruptions and implications. Here are some photos of my seating options.
