I am an educator in the Hillsboro School District serving my students so that they can achieve their goals, their dreams and their aspirations. My best days are when I am exhausted yet exhilarated about the possibilities of what may come next. I welcome the opportunity to expand my professional learning community beyond the walls of my school. Feel free to contact me via email robbinsj@hsd.k12.or.us or on Twitter @jenrobbins91.
The students chose words to describe roller coasters. We recorded them using Answer Garden . I think it also describes what building roller coasters is like. There was a buzz of excitement as groups of students designed and constructed marble roller coasters. One of the student remarked, "This doesn't look like regular library time." He had just asked me if he could tape the roller coaster ramp to the wall and was shocked when I said, "Of course." The students were so engaged with their projects that they did not notice a visitor from the Hillsboro Tribune . Kathy Fuller came to learn about what was happening in our building this summer. We are proud that we will be featured in the newspaper. I will make sure to include the link in a future post. We will be continuing our roller coaster construction tomorrow. I am very thankful that our custodial staff is supportive of these messy projects. This video captures the feelings expressed in the wordl
