My name is Paige Capps. This is my sixth year at PFE in 4th Grade. I was an assistant at BES for 10 years prior to coming to PFE.
I have a dog named Bella. In my spare time, I enjoy yoga, walking, riding my bike, going to the movies, taking belly dancing, and cheering for the Tar Heels. I love Wonder Woman.
In my class, we use cooperative learning through the use of groups during whole group Reading and Math. I believe it is important for students to share ideas with one another and to be able to listen to different ideas and view points.
In my class, students know it is ok to make mistakes. Students are encouraged to "think outside the box". My students love sharing their life experiences to make connections to what we are discussing.
I love it when I see students have "light bulb" moments...moments when the light comes on and they understand a concept or idea. My favorite thing to hear is "math is not as scary as I thought".
