 Mrs. Sage It's the middle of July, and I'm already getting excited to get back to my classroom. My science workshop trip to Costa Rica gave me a lot of great ideas of ways to involve my students with Global Learning! Bring it on. :-) Jul 16, 2010

Class Description:
I teach at H.S. Winograd K8 School. My classroom is made up of a nice, diverse group of students representing a variety of achievement levels and socio-economic levels. Our class motto is: "No one makes it until we all make it!" We use the Seattle Fish Market's Phish Philosophy to guide our everyday behaviors and environment: Be here, Have fun, Make their day, and Choose your attitude. With such a fun place to learn and everyone focused on achieving success, we love our classroom and parents tell me, talk about school more than ever - in a positive way, of course.

As I study the 21st Century Skills which my students will have to know, I recognize that things have changed from when I started teaching in 1982. We need fluent technology opportunities that are not used as one-time events, but are integral to our everyday learning
My Philosophy:
Every child has a future, I'm going to make sure he/she has all of the opportunities to have a great one.
