Environment:I work at Knollwood Elementary - a K-5 school in Rowan Salisbury Schools, in Salisbury, North Carolina. Our school is in a rural part of the county where our student body is 53% Hispanic. We are the largest elementary school in our district with 675 students. In February 2015, we transitioned to become a 1:1 school, along with our entire district. At our level, our students have iPads - our K-2 students keep their iPads at school and our 3-5 students take their iPads home. I strive to make the media center the hub of learning at our school...an exciting and engaging space for reading, learning, exploring, and WONDERing! read more...
