Learning should be purposeful, inspirational, and exciting! Connecting to students, and making them feel like what they are learning is meaningful is important. I know that I do not enjoy learning things that I am not interested in so why would our students? You may be thinking I have to teach the required standards, but do we need to teach it from a textbook? Or is their a more meaningful and purposeful way to teach those standards?? There is always a way we can relate learning to real world experiences that our students will have a deep connection with. As you explore my website you will find ways to engage students while covering all of your standards. You would have never guessed learning could be so much fun!
