My Students

“Learning is the only thing that the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.” –Leonardo Da Vinci

My 28 fourth grade students are a diverse group of learners with a variety of interests and abilities.

We believe that anything is possible in our classroom and that everyone can learn. Our students are hardworking, dedicated, and motivated to reach their full academic potentials. They love to learn and explore in all subject areas. Their passion for increasing their knowledge is outstanding!

My Project

Our 28 fourth grade students are a diverse group of learners with a variety of interests and abilities.

We believe that anything is possible in our classroom and that everyone can learn.

Our students are hardworking, dedicated, and motivated to reach their full academic potentials. They love to learn and explore in all subject areas. Their passion for increasing their knowledge is outstanding!

Our class uses wipe off boards daily for quick assess questions. This type of assessment is most efficient when students can quickly hold up their answers using these boards when asked a question.

By using these materials teachers can quickly assess students and appropriately place students in support or enrichment groups based on their responses. Quick assess questions are done throughout all subject areas reading, writing, social studies & math, so there is some wear and tear on our current boards. Students love using the dry erase boards during our quick assess questions! It turns an assessment into a fun engaging activity!
