Helping Hands- Tammy Pigott's 4th Grade
Step into Mrs. Tammy’s classroom and it quickly becomes clear that learning here does not look like a traditional desk-and-worksheet experience. Every part of the room is designed to keep students engaged, moving, thinking, and interacting with what they are learning in meaningful ways.
Math in this classroom is built differently from a traditional model. Rather than simply completing pages from a textbook, students experience math through games, partner challenges, group problem-solving, interactive centers, manipulatives, and real-life applications that make concepts tangible and memorable. Students are often out of their seats, collaborating, building, and discovering that math is something they can enjoy and succeed in. The goal is not only strong math understanding, but confidence—because when students begin to believe they can do math, everything changes.
Science is equally hands-on and immersive. Instruction is organized through rotating centers where students experiment, observe, test, build, and discover within every unit of study. From engineering challenges to lab investigations, students are actively doing science every day rather than simply reading about it. Robotics has become one of the biggest highlights of the classroom, giving students opportunities to apply teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving in highly engaging ways.
Mrs. Tammy’s classroom is built around the belief that children learn best when they are actively involved, genuinely curious, and excited to participate!
