My Students

Our school will be entering its 10th year come this September. In our Pre-K class, that means over 180 students will have come and gone from this Pre-K classroom. Along with that, many other students have called our room home for enrichment classes, after-school programs, and summer camp.

Families send their precious children to our class every day for us to help them take those first steps towards accomplishing great feats.

Children make this room their home for however long the stay and miss it dearly when they move on. It's something we take pride in and hope to continue doing what we love to do and that nurtures their love for learning.

I've been teaching at my first and current school for six years. No matter who enters through that door, they are part of our school family. I hope to provide them with the absolute best education we can offer.

My Project

Nathan Sawaya said, "Art nurtures the brain. Whether made from clay, paint, wood, or a modern-day toy. Chances are you probably don't have a slab of marble or ceramic kiln at home, but I bet you have some LEGO bricks."

The great thing about art is that it can be created with almost anything as long as you have an imagination.

Carl Sagan said "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." We're heading into a future that will go nowhere if we continue to place adult-like expectations on them. The LEGO bricks and adhesive wall plates will allow our kids lead us into the unknown by allowing them to use their imagination!

LEGOs will allow the students of our school to think and tread in the unknown worlds of their imagination. They will learn that mistakes are meant to be made and they can learn from them!

They will take risks, learn what works and doesn't work. They will learn how to be a kid in an environment that embraces who they are, no matter what an assessment or score says. They will learn to use their imagination and use it to their advantage.

It's easier to put children in front of a television or computer screen to keep them occupied instead of stimulating their minds and exploring their creativity. LEGO bricks are perfect tools to allow them to do this. What you may see as a couple of bricks slapped together in your eyes are probably a dinosaur or robot in theirs. LEGOs formed together to look like a house to you may be a castle fortified to defend and keep the princess safe. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the child mind, LEGO, and art.
