The beginning of my KF journey!

Looking back I can see the positive impact this fellowship has had on my teaching skills but, more importantly its impact on my students. My fellowship experience has opened my eyes to the wealth of information that teachers should continue to seek. It has made me a better teacher and for that I am grateful. I am still considered a “new teacher” but, having had the opportunity to be  Kenan Fellow I feel “seasoned”.

Last school year my students only heard/learned about the structures and functions of living organisms.

Through my Kenan Fellowship I have found away to immerse my students in interactive lessons with hands on experiences. I have included some pictures of my students working in the “Learning Garden”.

I have also included pictures of visit from community partners such as Food Corps.

Looking back….I wouldn’t change a thing!!!

Basil and Tomatoes

I am currently work on a new project with former Congresswoman Eva Clayton and her sorority, along with NC Cooperative Extension to make global connections with a group of students in Accra the capital of Ghana, Africa. We are discussing agriculture and nutrition. We are planting basil and tomatoes and sharing pictures as well as exchanging seeds with those students in Africa. The students have also secured 10 computers to have sent to Africa for those students. We are currently seeking funds to have them shipped.
