My Students

“The important thing is to create.” - Pablo Picasso. I have a classroom of students who love to explore, create, and discover through hands-on activities. My students love learning about the outside world and enjoy coming up with projects that exemplify what they read about.

I have a bright, curious, and enthusiastic group of third graders who are always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate their learning into art and projects.

My students are fascinated by the outside world and enjoy studying nature, animals, geography, and history. We live on a beautiful island with many natural resources that I'd like to make come alive in the classroom. Through project-based learning, students become invested in their learning and want to share their discoveries with each other and the rest of the community.

My Project

My students enjoy publishing stories and reports on Google Docs and Google Slides. They love to enhance their writing with related images and designs. Currently, we only have a black and white printer in our classroom. I’d love to give them the opportunity to bring their stories to life with color! We’ll also be using the printer to print images for charts and posters that help English language learners make content accessible. Having our own color printer will get students excited about creating a finished writing piece and fill them with pride when they share their work! I have many students who are visual learners who come alive when lessons and charts are filled with engaging photos and images.
