My Students

I am the school psychologist at my school and spend a lot of time in small groups with students. What I love is reaching out to all the students, by going into the classrooms and teaching lessons from the kindergartners just starting out to our sixth graders preparing for the next step in their education.

Our students strive to be the best they can.

I hope to help them in their personal development of building positive relationships with others and feeling confident in themselves. Our school is a community where we want our students to be successful academically and socially.

My Project

I am a school psychologist and spend most of my time in small groups. I enjoy going into the classroom and doing lessons with all students from Kindergarteners just beginning school to the sixth graders preparing for the next step in their education. I want books that I will pair with activities to be used in grade levels to help build personal development of interpersonal skills and problems solving for our students.

Our students strive to be their best.

Personal development, to understand their own feelings and the feelings of others is important for their relationships at home and school. This will help make the community in our school stronger and help students to be their best selves.
