Limiting Browser Distractions
This research project looks at the study of a student who was consistently off task with their computer when they were supposed to be on academic sites. This project looked at ways to prevent behaviors like this from happening and how I went about solving this problem in my own classroom. The research consisted of many peer reviewed strategies and evidence to back up my thinking.

Extracurricular activities in academic success
In this project we looked at how extracurricular activities benefit academic success in elementary school kids. The research concluded that extracurricular activities have many benefits to academic success such as building teamwork, balance, and self esteem skills that transfer over to the classroom, which is significant because as educators, our main goal is for our students to succeed. Knowing the benefits of extracurricular activities in academic success helps us to provide students with opportunities to participate in out of school activities. Though there are limitations and considerations to take with every thing you do, the evidence still proves that it is important for young students to participate in extracurricular activities.
