My Students

I teach at a STEM-focused elementary school. My students are creative, inquisitive, and compassionate second graders. They are learning about community, responsibility, and collaboration in a hands-on STEM classroom. I am inspired by their love for learning and their willingness to push through the tough stuff.

My students are doers, leaders, and our future.

My students thrive in a classroom that supports choice, creativity, and the freedom to think outside the box. They start every day with yoga and meditation. My students thrive when problem-solving and finding answers to today's social injustices. They put together a yard sale to send a girl in Pakistan to school. They care. My students love to talk through problems and share ideas. They are collaborative, cooperative, creative, and kind. Each and every day they inspire me to become a better teacher.

My Project

Last year I sent most of my school supplies home with my students so that they would have the tools they need to have a successful year at home. My class thrived at home because they had all the tools they needed.

Now I am hoping to replenish the supplies so that my incoming class will have the basic supplies for success.

We use lap boards and dry erase markers for many subjects as it saves paper. Highlighters and gel pens help with writing and close reading assignments. Sharpies, glue, crayons, markers and scissors will make our art projects come alive. All of these items will lead to learning success.
