My Students

Our school has 850 of the hardest working, kindest, most inspirational students. They love to learn in multifaceted ways, and I try my hardest to meet all of their needs.

Not only do our students represent a cross section of New Hampshire's largest city, but they also come from across the world, with more than 30 different languages spoken in our hallways alone.

The student body is the best mix of cultural diversity, and all students are able to learn about other cultures, traditions, and beliefs.

Our school also has a large percentage of students living in poverty. These students lack even the most basic school supplies on a daily basis. It is a struggle to keep these students supplied with school essentials, never mind providing them with rich learning experiences.

My Project

My students will be embarking on a project based learning project in the spring which will immerse them in the world of Greek mythology. Students will be on a quest to learn about the Greek mythological heroes then create a mock sales pitch to a comic book company for a hero they think would be a great comic book character. Students will use the poster boards and all craft supplies to create a visual display to accompany the sales pitch.

Along with the poster board presentations and a sales pitch, students will display their boards in a "Comic-Con" at our school.

Their projects will come to life by having original comic prototypes of their ideas after studying the Greek gods from the new books that we will have.

All of these supplies will afford my students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn new skills and display their great newfound knowledge.
