My Students

I have been teaching third graders for 17 years and I can't imagine any group of children that is more accepting and willing to try new ideas than eight and nine-year-olds. These kids come to school eager to learn and ready to work. It is my responsibility to capitalize on that and help take them as far as they can go with the kind of magical experiences that you only get to have as a child.

My students bring so much creativity and imagination to their work.

I'm excited to help them build on that and create lasting experiences they will take with them, and to foster the love of learning we have built together.

My Project

We will spend the school year traveling around the world, practicing our reading and math skills as we learn about other cultures, traditions, and celebrations. We will come to understand how holidays are celebrated in other countries and create souvenirs to help us remember what we've learned.

We will experience the history and events that have shaped other cultures, and see how people have learned to use the resources available in their area to survive.

We will recreate a Native American village in our classroom and explore the inner workings of that society.

Finally, we will use these supplies to create a school of magic where students practice academic skills learning about magical creatures, creating potions that solve world problems, and uncovering the biology of magical plants.
