My Students

Greetings! This is my first year as Instructional Technology Coach at the amazing BSE where we are “Building a Community of Leaders.” We are a Title I school located in rural South Carolina. After 18 years in education, I am excited for this new journey and all the learning opportunities it will bring. I know that working with students in kindergarten through 5th grade will bring challenges that will strengthen us all. Welcome to our tech adventure and fasten your seat belts for the ride!

If there is one lesson that I have learned, it is not to place my own limitations on my students.

When you serve students in a high need, high poverty area every advantage has the potential to be life-changing. No matter what challenges our students may face in life, they come to school ready to learn and eager to explore.

My Project

The beginning of first grade is an important time for building basic skills that will help students to be successful. Our first-grade learners use a variety of manipulatives in math for hands-on learning. This helps students to build number sense and fluency. These are skills that will be essential to every area of math instruction.

Rekenreks are a great way to build on math concepts.

While using rekenreks, students get a visual representation of math problems. These can be used for counting on and grouping concepts. In the end, our goal is "Building a Community of Leaders" who have automaticity of basic math facts.
