My Students

My students are home schooled part time and also attend classes at school. Our focus inside of the classroom is primarily on 21st Century Skills that will take our students in to the future. We are working hard to foster their critical thinking skills as well as their perseverance.

We are explorers, innovators, engineers, programmers and we would like to encourage students to stretch themselves into the future.

Our students crave new ways to be challenged and learn new things. With this said, this project will encourage our students to expand their reading interests, levels, and give them the opportunity to break out of their comfort zone.

My Project

This year, we want to set up a news station where students can produce their own news segments, complete with commercials, specialty segments and report on school events.

Student chosen and lead activities bolster creativity, innovation and a strong engagement.

I love to see what they can accomplish with a little freedom. It is often so much more than I expect. I would so much rather scaffold my students in learning than direct instruct. This equipment would give my students the ability to be creative and put together some amazing projects. Please help my students on their journey in making today's learners, tomorrow's leaders.
