My Students

My students are excited to be back in school, even if it is from home. These 6th graders are ready to learn, ready to figure out how this distance learning works, and full of wonder and excitement.

My students come into our online class with so many different home situations but are willing to make things work with what they have.

They are bright eyed and bushy tailed to learn as much as they can in our study skills class! I can't wait to help them learn tools to be successful this year!

My Project

These materials will change the way we tell our stories! Giving students the opportunity to research and write stories about our island home, feel connected to something greater than just themselves, and illustrate those stories is what we do in this class.

Let's bring these stories to life by animating them through Stop Motion techniques and collaborative learning strategies!

These technology components will bring the 21st century skills into the classroom with so much more ease!

Building a sense of belonging is key to making connections with each other and our home!
