My Students

This is my fifth year in this wonderfully rewarding profession, and I am beyond excited to continue teaching 5th grade Math and Science.

My students are so dedicated to their learning and education.

They deserve everything that will continue to inspire and motivate them. Their passion for mathematical conceptual understanding is unmatched! They are constantly challenging themselves through questioning. Their interest in science exploded during the first few months of the year. They loved learning about the seasons, Earth's tilt, and the solar system. It led to space exploration and students inspiring one another to research constellations.

My students are passionate, intelligent, hardworking, hilarious, and kind-hearted. Our focus for the rest of the year is to improve peer interactions, effectively communicate feelings, and accomplish individual and academic goals. While teaching can be challenging and overwhelming, my student's dedication, kindness, and curiosity is unmatched making my career extremely rewarding! Thank you for supporting these amazing students.

My Project

Since winters in Chicago are cold, dreary, and snowy, my students need a variety of options to engage with during indoor recess instead of movies or computer games. I want to provide board games and activities where they can experience positive interactions work with one another.

This project will provide a variety of options for students to play and socialize with one another during indoor recess.

These board games will keep students entertained and spending time with classmates.

It is important to students be productive during indoor recess. What better way to do that than having a special bin full of activities that can only be used when they are stuck indoors?!
