My Students

I work with a diverse group of learners ranging in ability, socio-economic backgrounds, and needs. I love that they are inquisitive, daring, boisterous and kind hearted. They come in each day ready to rise to whatever challenge I present them. We celebrate each other’s successes and support each other through our struggles. We work together, play together, learn together and grow together. For one special year, we are a family and a team. I love every minute of it!

My Project

I am in my 15th year of teaching third grade. I try to create an environment where my students feel safe, comfortable and willing to take chances.

I lost my classroom carpet in a flood a number of years ago.

I have since tried alternatives such as carpet squares and seating markers. The best thing to bring together our meeting area would be a beautiful carpet. All of my students will benefit by having a comfortable place to sit during morning meeting and group instruction as well as a quiet place to read during independent reading time. We engage in a rainforest unit and decorate the room like the forest- this carpet would fit right in! Please help me bring my room together
