Welcome to Curriculum Night!!

If you're seeing this screen, then thank you for attending curriculum night.

I teach your child Math or Language Arts - English - Media - Drama are all included here.

I imbed a lot of integrated learning here. For example, a math project such as Build a Geocity "My Ideal City" includes both mathematical concepts, organizational concepts - planning, editing, communicating, teamwork, writing vocabulary of math as well as reading instructions, finding nets, problem solving etc.

Please visit this site often to a) see what your child is doing in our class, b) a helpful place for links that I post and share to help your child in his/her studies.


for example, here is a great site to find polyhedra nets:
Example here is how to look at an octohedron: octohedron

here for other regular (all faces the same - platonic) nets http://www.mathsisfun.com/platonic_solids.html

Read the page and find the link to all of the platonic (regular) polyhedra and more!!


and here is an interesting link circulating on teachertube about using technology in the classroom....audience: teachers (but I'm happy to share)

but remember, the best computer is......the one between your ears :D
