Welcome to Mrs. Reyes's Class Page
Connections class encourages learners to think outside the box by uniting core content knowledge and skills with authentic (real world) learning experiences. We explore each unit using various student-centered activities, which are designed to incorporate individual learning styles, activate prior knowledge, encourage problem solving, and teach effective teamwork strategies. In Connections, students and teachers work together on a daily basis to ensure that a positive learning experience takes place.
To view more about our assignments, and what we have coming up in class, please view the content in the agenda below below and the "documents" and "links" sections listed in the "Classroom Pages" box to the right.
