My Project

This year I am fortunate to be teaching a third and fourth grade combination class. I have 10 third graders and 16 fourth graders. They are always thinking above and beyond and challenging each other to think deeper.

I would love to give my class MORE opportunities to dig deeper through literature through an advanced curriculum.

They love to question and discover and see what the world and stories have to offer. Through Vanderbuilt's advanced curriculum, they will have to chance to interact with new stories and text. These stories will ask to them to think above and beyond the basic fact based questions.
