Graduation!

I made it! I have officially graduated from Central Michigan University with my Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education degree!

I began my new job as an educator at a children’s museum. I am very excited for this opportunity!

Here are the 6 of us Dominican Republic student teachers! We made it home to Michigan just in time for a snowstorm!

Thanks to everyone who has supported me as I worked to complete my degree. I have wonderful family and friends who have enriched my life so much.

I am hoping to start working on my master’s degree next fall!

I have worked as an educator at the Flint Children’s Museum for several years and have maintained the blog for the outdoor area. If you enjoy following my student teaching blog, please check out the museum blog! I will be posting more there when I get back to the U.S. There are many ideas for hands-on activities for kids!

Great Work from the World History Students!

A few weeks ago, during our religion unit, I assigned a project. Students had options of presenting their research in different ways such as through a PowerPoint, museum exhibit, comic strip, essays, etc. I was very impressed by the quality of work presented by some groups. Below are some examples of creative projects.

These are artifacts created by one group for a museum exhibit project. They researched Greek Mythology.

These two students made a whole museum dedicated to the gods and goddesses of Greek Mythology! The detail inside is most impressive!

Maybe I’m a little biased because of my museum studies background, but I loved these projects! I think I may have created some future museum curators. As my museum studies advisor from CMU always says: world domination!
