Reading and Writing
My 3rd grade teacher let us go outside, sit in the grass away from everyone and just think and write in our little journals she gave each of us.  This began my love of writing!  My elementary library had the ONLY computer and we could sign up to play games-I was one of the first!  She also had a bathtub to read in and several hidden places in the library to go with books.

My students learn best when they are active in their own learning.  My students have been more engaged when they have felt a connection to the learning.  Technology has helped to allow students to be in charge of their learning.

Thematic projects -things done with a group that went over long periods of time, really getting down deep in the learning. It was a time when students didn't have tech, so our teachers relied on real-life simulations, creation of hard-bound books, and doing things like cooking units. It may seem antiquated and a lot of work, but we loved it, and still remember it. My students are the same. They just want to be immersed in their learning.
