My Students

I am a teacher of 21st century learners implementing Project-Based learning in my classroom. My school is located in the first sustainable solar powered town in America...Babcock Ranch, Florida. I provide my students with a project-based "greenSTEAM" education while working hard to integrate standards across disciplines and provide opportunities for my students to make connections in the environment, our community, and the world around them. Students in my classroom are always engaged in learning whether it be reading outside in the neighborhood, learning about Bald Eagles at Babcock, or rotating through student directed stations. I am always looking for new technology and software that best serves my students in order to learn and practice 21st century skills!

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Throughout the school day students are able to choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting on the floor with clip boards, or sitting on yoga balls around the room. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. My students produce their best work when they have a choice when it comes to their seating. They know where they work best.
