My Students

I teach 25 amazing fifth graders at a Title I elementary school filled with diversity. My students have a variety of backgrounds, cultures, languages, talents, and interests. As I strive to motivate and educate these kids, they rise to the challenge and try their best in what we do in school.

While each student is different; they all have one thing in common; they are capable of learning and achieving their wildest dreams.

Despite the many challenges each child faces, they are showing up each day. They brighten not only my day but the days of each other inside and outside the classroom.

As a school, we seek to build a strong community that will give students the skills they need to become successful once they venture into other facets of their lives.

My Project

In 5th grade we learn a lot. From American History to designing solutions to reduce the impacts of natural disasters on the world we live in, to how to find the volume of 3D shapes.

Because of their various backgrounds, most of my students do not have access to materials that will give them a creative outlet when learning without being plugged into a wall or staring at a screen.

These materials, paired with our 5th grade standards, will help my students develop models and design solutions for science, build and create stories that connect with language arts and social studies, and use hands on materials to learn fractions, decimals, and build 3D shapes for math. The possibilities are endless!
