My Students

My students are innovative, creative thinkers who are passionate about project-based learning. They are true leaders at heart! Our school fosters a growth mindset that encourages students to take ownership of their own learning using a non-traditional learning model. Culture and community are highly esteemed as our school-wide values. My students thrive in a learning environment that is customized just right for each child's unique individuality. My students are empowered to explore, ask driving questions, and discover their highest potential.

My Project

The use of a laptop is of vital importance in being able to deliver quality lessons during distance learning at home. My students have a love for hands-on learning; especially when it comes to learning useful and practical skills. I have recently attended professional development webinars that taught me some tips on how to make my virtual lessons more engaging through the interactive use of technology. I can't wait to put these methods to use in my virtual classroom!

Having a laptop will allow the portability that I need in order to bring my online classroom with me both outside in the garden as well as inside the kitchen to give live demonstrations ~ The video capabilities will make my hands-on lessons come to life!

Learning home economic skills is much more exciting when taught by live modeling rather than through textbooks. The utilization of a laptop will enhance my lessons so that students will not just learn about cooking and gardening; they will gain first-hand experience by applying relevant and meaningful real-life skills.
