I live in Ulster.  I have 2 children.  I enjoy gardening, playing the piano and

reading.  I'm a Life Skills teacher in Towanda. I enjoy having my students

for several years!  We have fund raisers, go bowling, cook, make projects,

and play educational games in addition to completing  individual academic

work. 

 

Assignments

Group Projects:

  Team 1 -   A power point presentation explaining United

                  Streaming.  United Streaming has a lot of  

                  cool stuff ---  it's not just videos! 

 

United Streamingfinal.ppt

 

  Team 2 -   Using del.icio.us we tagged resources for teaching math using

                  music. Some sites have CDs you can purchase.  One site has 

                  lots of songs that teach math facts.  You can listen to part of

                  the song, but then you have to purchase it and download it. 

                  Lots of sites have free songs or the words to songs available.

 

 

 Individual Projects :

   Blog-  I'm going to use my blog as a parent information page.  I'll give

   the parents the URL and encourage them  to log on and read about

   what's going on in our classroom.  I'll show my students how to log on.

   They'll probably bug their parents into taking a look at it.  I can post

   when library books and book orders are due, special activities, field 

   trip information, etc. on my blog.

 

   Unit Transformation Project - This is a power point presentation showing

   various types of farms.  It is called At the Farm.ppt  I normally would show

   my students pictures in books when I introduce a new concept.

   Watching it on the computer will have more impact and hopefully

   be more memorable for them.  The colors, pictures, animation and

   sounds should keep them focused. I'm going to show this the day I tell

   them we're going on a field trip to a farm and explain what kind of 

   farm we will be visiting.

 

   Course Web Page -  This is the course web page.  I have a little 

   bit about myself, a description of the assignments I completed for

   this class and links to view each assignment.
