My Project

Hello, I am a second year ELA teacher. For my third year, I will be moving from Reading to English. These specific items will be a good start to building an English classroom. My goals are to provide the tools and materials that students need to be successful.

I strive to meet my students where they are and give them a safe, welcoming atmosphere to foster independent thinkers and problem solvers.

These materials will help me as the teacher present content and skills through a variety of learning experiences, and stimulate engagement by tapping into students' cultures, sense of place, and interests.
