Hello!

My name is Elizabeth Tinkey and I am studying to be a teacher at Valparaiso University. I want to teach elementary school and plan on doing so when I graduate.

Here is a Glog to tell you a little bit about me:

For some additional help, please visit these websites, with your parent's help:

Mathforum - This will help you with some math skills and give you extra practice.

If you like reading books, visit this link to find some online books.

Art is another area that we will be focusing on and if you want to do some art projects at home or bring ideas to class, look at this website!

Thank you for visiting my class website!

In our art class, we will be using many aspects of art to work on projects for other classes, as well as ideas found in art. We will be researching and reading about different famous artists and working on art in the same way that they did. We are also privileged to be able to display our artwork throughout the classroom and school.

Here are some helpful websites to get ideas for some art projects: (Highlight the website, copy, and paste into a new web page)

In Science Class, we have been learning about our environment and different animals throughout the world. We will be incorporating that into our Art Class. View this video to see some animals and environments that we will get to look at and draw in our class.

In our Math class, we will be covering a variety of topics. Some of the ideas that we will learn about include measurement, problem solving, and number sense. Over the entire year, we will build on our knowledge of mathematics as well as learn lots of new ways to help us use math throughout our lives.
