My Students

My students are fun, creative, and amazing human beings. They love coming to school every day and truly love to learn.

I know that I have future doctors, firefighters, teachers, and lawyers in my classroom.

My goal as an educator is to give my students the skills that they need to be successful in the classroom and the world.

Everyday we come to school to play, learn, and grow together. Everyone brings their individual goals, triumphs, and struggles together into our classroom where we strive to grow into the best people that we can be.

My Project

Everyone gets angry, sad, or frustrated at times. My students are little people who need help processing these feelings and emotions. This project is meant to help students learn to process these emotions and feelings that they have throughout the day.

By donating to this project, you will be contributing to the social-emotional learning and wellbeing of the students in my classroom.

This project will provide a safe place and materials to help students learn to regulate their emotions and feelings. Students will be able to sit in a comfy chair while reading books about their emotions. They will have sensory toys to take their mind off of issues or problems that they are facing and get themselves ready for the next classroom activity.
