My Students

My students come from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am always looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a creative and meaningful learning experience.

My students are a group of inquisitive and creative second graders who approach life and new concepts enthusiastically.

When returning to school from virtual learning, differentiating for the needs of the individual student will be incredibly important. My goal is to meet each child where they are (wherever that may be!) as they shift to face-to-face learning five days a week.

My Project

The term "germs" refers to the microscopic bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that can cause disease. Washing hands well and often is the best way to prevent germs from leading to infections and sickness.

Good hygiene practices, such as hand washing and using hand sanitizers, along with proper cleaning of school environments, can significantly reduce the number of infections each year and keep teachers and students in the classrooms.

Germs continually reinvent themselves to outwit the use of antibiotics and resist the development of vaccines for common infections. Two lines of attack that have never let us down are good hygiene and proper cleaning of our environment. No disease-causing organism transmitted through the environment has developed an iron-clad defense against them yet.
