February 2 is Groundhog Day.  Will the groundhog see his shadow?  Tradition tells us that the length of winter is determined by weather or not he sees his shadow!

I hope everyone is having a great school year! Thanksgiving has passed, and winter break will be here soon. Some of my elementary students have been learning to code on Code.org or Kodable. Middle school students have been checking out many great books.

Many of the websites that I use with my classes can be found in the class links, on the right side of this page. Click, learn, and enjoy!

Looking forward to seeing everyone for the start of a great school year!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! Can’t wait to see all of you when we’re back in school soon!

Finishing up the last week of school and looking at how much progress we’ve made! I hope everyone has a great summer. Enjoy time with your friends and family, rest, relax, and read!

If you have any questions over the summer, just send me an email. All of the links that we used in class can be found in the list on the right, so be sure to use them to learn and enjoy.

Have a great summer everyone!

The students below are enjoying the ice cream party they earned for staying on task all year in their media classes!

It’s almost the end of the school year!  June 3 is the last day to check out books at Henry Ford Elementary and Stout Middle school.  All books must be returned before we leave for summer break.

At Henry Ford we studied the book The Inventor’s Secret and learned about Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. They were both great inventors, and their secret to success was Keep At It! Never give up, if you have an idea or dream, just keep working at it. We then made illustrations of some inventions that would be great to create. There were many awesome ideas!

It’s always important to be kind.  At Henry Ford Elementary we’re discussing how we can be kind, and we even have a kindness pledge that we say!

Below are some of the books that we studied to learn ways to be kind and not hurtful to others.  Try our best every day!
