My Students
Fifth grade is going to be amazing this year! My students are excited about the new year in a new flexible community environment. We will start off the year with 30-32 stellar students who are ready to learn and explore new things, find their voices, and enhance their community experience in the classroom.
A student-centered community environment, creating the best atmosphere for community voice and participation, and providing the right tools is key.
The students in my class are amazed at the great opportunity they will have this year in my Disney-themed classroom, to have a student-centered learning experience, with a lot of hands-on activities, being part of and understanding of a functioning community. With my style of teaching, I try very hard to help the students work through ideas and strategies outside of just textbooks and worksheets. This focus on the students helps engage them to have fun while learning new things.
So, hats off to my new class! It's going to be an adventurous learning year filled with lots of teaching moments with life connections in all subjects. Did I mention they are amazing? Thought so!
My Project
We would love to have a class set of this great resource to help students connect local and world geography and how maps work. We can connect this in many ways, including U.S. History locations, learning the states, and also connecting to how locations connect to our science environments based on locations.
Help us Map It and connect this resource in many subject areas of our curriculum.
We are excited to use this resource as soon as we can, so thank you in advance for helping our classroom community with your donation.
