Mr. Ferrara creates opportunities for students to become explorers and discover new ideas that impact our environment and the world around us!
By encouraging all learners to experience a variety of literature, students will form a general understanding of the world we live in, and acquire knowledge to make intelligent decisions. Another goal is to communicate effectively with classmates and improve decision-making based on an expansive, schematic knowledge bank. Everyday we use our schema, or background knowledge, to drive our decision making and it is the goal of my classroom to build knowledge, vocabulary, and skills for Academic Excellence in addition to fostering other key core values of learning (Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, and Compassion).
