My Students

Each and every day, I am surrounded by 68 innovative and exuberant students. Their stories and backgrounds fill my room with color and enthusiasm. They are incredibly open-minded and ready for a challenge when they walk through my doors each and every day.

An adventure awaits, and my scholars choose to rise to the challenge in spite of the challenges they may face at home or the lack of parental involvement.

My students choose to RISE! This is just the beginning for my little leaders.

My Project

A Cricut will allow my students to have personalized interactive materials, reward boards, birthday cards, tokens, etc. While students are learning from home I will be able to send home these materials to engage them through the learning process.

A Cricut will help me provide students with the newest materials that will allow them to bring their ideas to life.

Once we return to the classroom this project will still have a great impact on my students. Bulletin boards and student projects can be created using this wonderful machine. The sky is the limit!
