My Students

Walk into my classroom and you will see 25 students noisily engaged in learning. Some students may be working together on a puzzle, building an obstacle course for robots, counting with math manipulatives, curled up with a book or working with me in a small group. As a visitor, these students look very similar, but as their teacher, I know which student may not have had supper last night, who stayed with older siblings while Mom worked a second job, whose parents are getting a divorce and which one is homeless and living in a shelter.

Our classroom is a family.

We may not begin the year that way but it is definitely how we end the year. We laugh, cry and celebrate with each other. We care. We love.

My Project

Our grade level service learning project is collecting items to support our local animal shelter. Part of our month-long emphasis includes teaching our students responsible pet ownership and ways to protect wild animals in their natural environment.

The highlight of our project includes a visit from a special friend of the animal shelter.

My students show our animal friend pictures and even read to them.

My students need the LEGO EDUCATION Large Farm Set and the LEGO EDUCATION Wild Animal to enhance their learning about animals and their needs. We will research and explore animal habitats in the wild and learn about what animals need to be safe and healthy. We will also talk about what we can do to help animals by protecting their natural environments.
