Portfolio

Every book is a bird's egg.

Student's aren't birds—they're definitely not eggs—yet there is something yolky about a young person's imagination.

As a teacher, I don't crack eggs.

I lead beaks to break shells.

Project Based Learning

Book Day Presentation

Kindergarten

Over the course of three months, Saturn class worked together brainstorming, writing, and designing their very own story. First, we brainstormed and voted for the best ideas. Then, students shared sentences while I guided what they wanted to say. Next, we worked on our best handwriting. Finally, at the end of the three months, the students presented their book to their parents on a special book day celebration!
