Welcome parents! Teaching is my passion and I am so excited to have your child in my class this year. My goal is to provide a fun, engaging, and enriching class for all students. In order to do this, I work hard to individualize the educational experience for each student, giving choice in which projects students will complete and supporting them along the way.
Here are a few things to help monitor your child's progress in STEM:
Check grades in Aeries - these grades are not set in stone! Read the comments to see how your child can improve her or his grade. Students are welcome to resubmit assignments to be re-graded.
Check Google Classroom for information about past and current assignments.
Ask your child to share her or his digital portfolio with you. This is where students will upload their work and where I view it to grade. Students will be working on this site all year, so it's a great way to see all of the projects they are completing.
Thank you for all you do to support your child. I'm looking forward to a great year!
