My Classroom

Strange Elementary School

My eighth year of teaching provided me with not only a classroom of my own, but a school of my own.  My 2017-2018 position took me into a One Room Schoolhouse in Grand Ledge, MI.  Teaching in a K-6 school, and being responsible for the success of all grade levels presents unique challenges, as well as the ability to provide special opportunities to each student as well.  With a 23 student max, the school lends itself to a "family atmosphere", and the ability to provide experiences like no other school I have taught in.  To understand more about how our school day is set up, how we organize our classroom to accommodate our multi-grade levels, hands on activities and projects we incorporate, and the amazing opportunities we are able to provide our students, I have created a slide show.  I feel beyond privileged that I get to teach in a school that proudly allows me to live out my teaching philosophy daily. 

​
