My Students

I'm fortunate to be part of a school that strives for excellence. We meet students' needs with rigorous teaching strategies and expect only the best from our students.

My school is proud to be a Leader in Me school that works on taking the 7 Habits of author Steven Covey, making them age-appropriate, and working them into our school campus so that students begin to see their campus as a way to show leadership.

Leader in Me is not a curriculum, but rather a way of doing life on the school campus through awareness of how we learn and grow, and how we speak and treat one another. Students learn the habit of solving conflicts, and then they become mentors for others. This is just one way the Leader in Me program looks on our campus. Students take the 7 Habits that are taught to them and begin to think of ways they can take ownership of their campus through leadership. Whether it's a 5th grader helping a 1st grader to read, students setting goals and overcoming academic obstacles, or students seeing a need to clean their campus, these are all ways that the 7 Habits teach students to lead.

My Project

I am requesting pizza boxes. We are starting to learn about fractions, and what better way to reinforce fractions then talking about pizza. We will first make two paper pizzas, and let students pick out toppings to put onto them. We will teach that if we put the topping of pepperoni on three out of the 6 slices on one pizza, that we will put it on 4 out of the 8 slices on the other pizza to show equivalent comparison. This is just one of the ways we will use this pizza box. The boxes also become a great way to store any fraction strips we use along the way. The students will enjoy taking this home to show their families. Thank you for your support!
