My Students

I teach at a diverse urban public school. The students at my school are goofy, kind, curious, and eager to learn new things.

Not only are these students exciting to be around, but they are also some of the most caring, hardworking, and curious first graders who bring their open-mindedness into the classroom each and every day.

As their teacher, I strive every day to motivate my students to achieve their highest potential through reading, writing, math, science, music, and exploration!

My Project

Our school is located near the famous bridge and landmark, The Brooklyn Bridge!

Many of my students and their families visit the Brooklyn Bridge and its wonderful park, but I think this iconic landmark will be more powerful and exciting to take in with a bit more knowledge about what makes it so unique and famous--this project and all the books will help inspire us to do a deep dive into all the connected our borough to the bustling Manhattan streets!

I cannot wait to begin learning all about the bridge and know my students will love learning all about it's history too!
