Welcome to Ms. Cervoni’s Class!

 

As a first year teacher, I am learning alongside my students every single day. In this classroom, we focus on using our strengths and building our confidence in school and beyond. We are creative learners and flexible problem solvers. We look at every obstacle from different perspectives. We are always up for a challenge. Every day is a new chance.

Social Emotional Skill Building

Mini Art Show showcases a manifestation of learning what emotions look and feel like. My students learned what it means to work together in a pair, and how sometimes we mesh with our partner and how sometimes we clash. We learned how to harness the meshing and navigate the clashing. We practiced how to plan our project, organize our thoughts, and edit and revise our work. Ultimately, my students created a piece of art that reflects both people and both chosen emotions in a partnership. This six-month group-based art project taught social, team building, and group work skills.

All subjects. Worksheets and workbooks for grades 1-4. Used in special education and general education settings.

Tutoring services for students ages 6-10 years old. Orton Gillingham trained to teach phonics, reading, reading comprehension, and writing. Direct and explicit instruction for students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, adhd and/or autism. Hands on instruction and multi-sensory learning in private one-hour one-on-one sessions.

Every Friday morning, my third grade class takes a trip to a different part of the world. We talk about the geography of lands, the cities atop mountains, the varying cuisines, how every country has its own form of dumplings, the adaptations its people had to make, the hardships they had to endure, and how beautiful the world really is. We discuss how we are all so very different and how we are all really the same. They line up for their “customs” stamp in their passport, and they mostly say the same reason when I ask them why they are traveling, and that is “to be with my friends.” Let’s take a trip!
