One Class at a Time: Mrs. Sloan

PEORIA (Heart of Illinois ABC) - School is nearly out for summer at Midland Middle School.

It’s test time in Mrs. Sloan’s math class!

A year ago she taught classes remotely on Fridays during the pandemic, she’s happy to have all five days back in person.

“It’s nice that we’re here, everyday all day and that’s probably been the biggest change.”

Speaking of change, Sloan says the curriculum has gone through adjustments over the years.

“A lot of more critical thinking, trying to prepare the kids for the future.”

Which is why this $1,000 grant will be a big addition to her classroom.

As to what she plans to use the money for.

“I don’t know, I don’t know, pencils I guess, that’s what I hand out the most so.”
