My Students

My students are leaders, learners, wonders, questioners, thinkers, and so much more. They teach me to be so everyday. They help me to see the brighter side of things and always see a positive. They are very eager learners, and love to learn and hear new stories.

My students are a family.

We spend all day every day together and we are very close. They love to work together and talk about the things they learn or read. They often ask each other questions and learn from each other. These kids are funny, amazing, and so kind.

My Project

These Osmo Genius kits will enhance our iPad station because they will allow my students to take a more STEM approach. While they are working on reading and writing these games will help them put those into action. They will able to use the word game in order to get more practice building words and getting direct feedback. The number game will help them become more confident in their number sense and put their knowledge in action with real life math problems. The tan-gram game will help them become more confident with their shapes and how to manipulate them to create other things. These kits will really improve our iPad time.
