My Students

This school year, our students will be transitioning back to the classroom for their first real year on a middle school campus. Some students have had immense privilege during the pandemic and are coming back with great intention to absorb and learn. Others are struggling to have their basic needs met every day, fighting against all odds just to show up. It is my goal to make these kids fall back in love with learning, and find safety in the classroom.

My students are bright, excited, young individuals who are looking forward to coming back to their classrooms this year.

Please help me give them the leverage they need to succeed.

My Project

I think one of the most profound and amazing things that a teacher can give a child, is the ability to use their imagination to create whatever they want.

My students live in these little worlds inside their own heads, and my hope with this project is to capture their thoughts, writing, and drawings in one beautiful little book that they can take pride in, and bring home to admire as they grow older.

My other project geared towards poetry will introduce my students to a plethora of authors from around the world, and when we finish our sunny day readings under the tree, we will begin a new project- creating our own poetry and applying all of the writing styles we learned so much about.
