Mrs. Pam Morgan's Class

Mrs. Cynthia Meshell, Mrs. Beverly Clements, Paraprofessionals

Students in Mrs. Morgan's classroom focus on hands-on activities and ways to use the information they learn.  Children need to understand WHY they have to learn the many expected skills they are required to master.  Mrs. Morgan wants to help children make connections from her class to their everyday life both now in the in the future. 

A creative variety of learning activities accommodate a wide range of learning styles as they assist students working with regular curriculum skills.  Classroom computers are used daily to increase technology and academic skills.  A full miniature kitchen is used to incorporate life skills as well as benchmarks in all academic areas.  The kitchen was provided by a grant (see story below.) 

Mrs. Morgan was presented a $1,000 grant from KTBS Channel 3's One Class at a Time Program.
