Welcome

GRADS is like a classroom without walls. We help our students make connections in their community, find reliable information online and show them how to be lifelong learners throughout their parenting journey. There are also other methods of teaching our students without the traditional textbook. Follow my classroom blog as we stretch the boundaries of teaching and learning.

Easy as ABC

I incorporate many teaching strategies into my lessons. One of my favorite is Writing Alphabet Books, a strategy I found by Janet Allen in More Tools for Teaching Content Literacy. The method is simple to use and students enjoy the creative aspect of producing a book. Writing an alphabet book can help students organize and synthesize the information at the end of any unit. The students can compose the book as a class, in groups, or individually.
