Amanda+Hawk



Hello! My name is Amanda Hawk. I will be entering my 10th year of teaching in the fall. I have been at a Jewish Day School for four years. I teach mathematics to grades 4,5, and 7. I have a Bachelors degree in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters degree in Education. On a personal note, I celebrated my 7th anniversary yesterday (unfortunately I wasn't with my husband). I am a mother to two beautiful daughters, Adalyn Marie and Lillian Love.

I have used wordle with my students in order to have them create posters. The assignment was to create a wordle document that would entice fellow students to bring in Tzedakah money on Fridays at school. I have used You Tube in my classroom in order to provide my students with a further tutorial on a specific concept. My students have used Google Docs in order to share their thoughts and brainstorm about projects. I also use Keynote and Pages for various projects in the classroom.
