My Students

Each day, I get the privilege of entering a learning environment filled with our future musicians, artists, authors, athletes, and scholars. For many of my students, school is their "safe space" - a place where their needs are met and they can focus on just being a kid! They are excited about learning and ready to experience all that a classroom has to offer!

Each of my students carries with them a unique and diverse set of strengths and challenges.

We work hard to help them grow academically but also physically, emotionally, and socially.

Our students reside in rural South Dakota but they come from all walks of life. About 47% of the students in our school qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

My Project

Imagine our fourth graders stepping outside, lacing up their sneakers, and preparing to go on a power walk while listening to a podcast that aligns with our state content standards. Now imagine how excited they would be to have this opportunity at least twice a week! This vision could become a reality if we receive 20 Walking Classroom Walk-kits.

Using Walk-Kits with my fourth graders would allow us to combine learning, movement, and overall health and wellness.

As their teacher, I would be able to ensure that our important grade level English Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science standards are still being addressed and reinforced during this valuable learning session. When we return from our walk, we would be able to discuss our learning from the podcast and extend skills and concepts with classroom learning.
