My Students

“We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” - David Warlick

Our classroom is composed of diverse learners.

We have a blend of gifted and talented students, exceptional children, and remedial students with a blend of everything in between! Our school has a population poverty-stricken children. We continuously strive to provide them all the opportunities they deserve!

My Project

Our children thrive while interacting with technology! Our current technology is outdated, requires constant repairs, and many devices are missing parts. Our children deserve readily available technology, every day. It is my goal as a teacher to provide them with a 21st century education without limitations. iPad Mini’s would help our students access curriculum, participate in online personalized adaptive curriculum tools, personalize their educational goals, and provide the engagement they thrive on!

If our students are able to use modern technology every day, they will be more engaged, knowledgeable, and empowered as lifelong learners!

As leaders, our students strive to use 21st Century skills to become independent, productive leaders and citizens. They should be able to have these opportunities in school!
