Thursday September 17th I began the "All Hands In" Project with my homeroom 6th grade class at Dannelly Elementary in Montgomery. We are HOPING the students will work on what can be done for the better of the class! The project will last for SIX weeks! This project is to watch the students learn, grow, and recognize the nice/friendly things they can do for others. The students trace their hands then write what they did on their hand... or if they do more than one nice thing... they can use the fingers to write their "niceness!" The first week the students focused on doing nice things for people/teammates/ classmates in the class. We have one student with disabilities in the class... the students are learning how to relate and help this student.
I will post photos on the progress the students are making.

I am not too sure how to work this blog. If by chance anyone reading this is working on their Ed.S. Degree from AUM Fall 2009 and completing the practicum with Dr. Bowden! Please please please let me know what we do!
I have been married since 2005. I teach 6th Grade Reading/Language Arts in Montgomery County! My husband and I have three dogs and one cat! Both of my paternal grandparents were educators. Needless to say, education must be in my blood. I love what I do.
