My Students

When you think of your elementary school days, what stands out to you? I want my students to remember our classroom full of things to investigate and learn about.

My students love to explore our world and discover new things.

I teach at a small school in rural Florida. My classes include many students for whom English is their second language and students who have special learning needs. Our fourth grade is departmentalized and I try to do projects & find enough materials to get every child involved. I am amazed at the level and complexity of the conversations they have during project/lab time and try have as many hands-on activities as possible in order to draw out those conversations.

My Project

I want my students to be able to take pride in their science notebooks, but our current set of Mr. Sketch Markers is in desperate need of being replaced. We've taken care of them and been able to use them for several years, but 100 students using them on almost a daily basis has taken its toll. What are we doing in class, you may ask? We spend a lot of time in my class drawing diagrams of our science labs or concepts we're learning and adding a pop of color helps my visual learners categorize things. We also highlight information in our textbook to help students learn how to analyze core content versus what is an explanation of a concept.

Our world involves so much more than paper, pencils, and textbooks and our students' education should reflect that.

By providing opportunities for my students to organize their ideas using color, I hope to open doors to them and expand their thinking in a way that they never imagined possible.
