My Students

My students are wonderful kiddos who are eager to learn. Many of them are military children and are shifted from school to school as the military moves their families. Others come from low socio-economic backgrounds, so many of them have not had opportunities like other students have had. Many of them have never traveled outside of Kentucky. Some are in family situations such that they need to know they are somebody special and that people care about them.

My students are energetic, personable, and enthusiastic about learning using alternative means.

Books, paper and pencil don't really reach my students. They learn best by being a part of the learning experience and by engaging in learning. So as a result, I like to provide them with as many learning experiences as possible.

My Project

Our classroom just got a set of Chromebooks, so now each student has opportunities to explore History into greater depths than ever before. But they each need a set of quality headphones. There are so many things that my students can do now. There are webquests, videos, interactive games and quizzes, just to mention a few. Much of what we do is individualized based on the student. In addition, the use of headphones allows students to work at their own pace, so no one feels rushed. The use of quality headphones in the classroom will truly beat the cheap pairs we currently are using.
