My Students

I am a teacher who loves her job and loves her students, year after year! I enjoy the big and small moments, as I know they all lead to success.

It is never a boring day at my job, that is for sure as my children are beyond fascinating as their personalities are full of energy and character.

I work in a Title I school, where we strive for excellence regardless of financial setbacks. I work diligently to build relationships with the children, so they are always at comfort with me.

My Project

As I prepare to go back into the school building, its crucial for me to ensure that my students are welcomed in a safe environment with basic necessities at hand. The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. Whether students continue virtually or return face to face the whiteboards are awesome tools for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. New boards and markers are always needed. Our last resort would be pencil and paper.
