All+About+the+Chef

 **My name is Miss Albrecht and I am very excited to be your 4th Grade teacher this year! Together, I am sure we will cook up some wonderful information to feed our minds! Before we get started with the main course for this class, I thought I'd share a few things about me. I have lived in Denver for two years and have grown to enjoy the city. I love getting outside, running and enjoying sunny afternoons. Additionally, I like spending time with friends, listening to music and as I'm sure you've probably guessed, cooking! Food is a great way to be creative, challenge yourself and best of all, you get to eat the results! Cooking thrives on creativity and personalization. By changing only a few ingredients you can end up with a whole new dish! I hope to maintain this perspective when teaching as well. I cannot wait to learn the unique set of ingredients each and every member of the classroom brings with them! I truly hope to make this year and scrumptious and fulfilling as possible for all of us! **

Technology...  Students today are surrounded by information from multiple sources that divide their attention in several different directions. Our students walk in the door knowing how to multi-task and when to focus their attention on one object or activity. We need to recognize these skills and needs in our classrooms. Information needs to be presented quickly, clearly and made relevant immediately. Students need to be provided with opportunities to interact with the material so as to make their own personal connections and a deeper understanding. Incorporating technology into the classroom allows students to reach new limits, think outside the box, and express themselves through fresh and innovative ways!
