Welcome
This is going to be an exciting year! I am happy to be back at school and can’t wait until our AIM classes start!
This is my 22nd year in education and at GREEN! WOW I am old! I have a daughter, Ellen, who is in 6th grade here.
I love learning new things and crave creativity, and can’t wait to learn with, and from, your children.
I hope that you find this year brings many new experiences to you and your child and that the skills your child works on in AIM will prepare them for future learning in and outside of the classroom!
Curriculum
TPSP Project
The 4th grade AIM students will have the benefit of participating in the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP). The TPSP gives students a framework for successfully completing an independent research project. These TEKS-based projects are cross-curricular, with components from English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.
Each TPSP project targets two phases of implementation:
Phase I presents developmental and instructional lessons using advanced content and a discipline-based research model to gain an understanding of the background knowledge for the task.
Phase II provides an opportunity to delve into independent research. Students will synthesize learning, apply knowledge to a novel situation, and provide an advanced, high quality demonstration of their knowledge.
