Welcome to My Classroom!Hi, I'm Ms. Billings! I am so excited to be able to offer this website as a means to keep in touch with the classroom. You can see what we are working on through the announcements, look at different learning targets for the year and much more! I hope that you will be able to use this as a resource throughout the school year.

Project Based LearningWhat is project based learning? Project based learning is where students take part in a project over an extended period of time that answers an engaging real world problem. As a result of project based learning students engage in critical thinking, creativity and create an authentic, meaningful project. At the end of a large project based learning unit I like to invite parents into the classroom to celebrate all of the learning students have been engaged in.

Field TripsThroughout the school year we will be taking field trips to enhance student learning. A few field trips we will go on are to the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, VT when we study habitats to learn more about our own backyard. We will also go on a hike in Greensboro, VT when we study landforms to learn more about how Vermont's landscapes were shaped. Finally, we will take our end of the year field trip to Parc Safari after we learn about tigers.
