My Students

Close your eyes and imagine the feel of a warm summer evening. You feel the warm air, you hear and witness the calls and clatters of all things nature; you welcome and are mesmerized by the majestic beauty of the sunset. Welcome to my Learning Pond.

My Fearless Frogs are a charismatic, eager to learn, ensemble of 20 “ribbiting" ranas (the Spanish word for “frogs”) that are in a Two-Way, English-Spanish Dual Language Program at our wonderful campus on the east-side of sunny Orlando.

My Project

The current pandemic is tasking teachers worldwide to rethink the day-to-day operations of education. This includes science, a subject area that many students absolutely love. What makes science so engaging for students are the many hands-on labs and investigations we get to do. When we return in the fall, we will be implementing physical distancing measures.

Before the pandemic, students were able to work in small groups to complete these tasks; however, these activities will have to be reimagined with physical distancing in mind.

This project features additional resources and materials that can be, and will be, used across many different investigations we will do throughout the course of the school year. While students will still be able to connect with each other in small groups via a digital web-conferencing platform, students will need to have their own materials. Additionally, there are a few items that will be used for instances where we have a Scientific Teacher Demonstration for more complex topics, in lieu of a hands-on lab.
