My Students

I teach at a STEM-focused elementary school. My students are creative, inquisitive, and compassionate second graders. They are learning about community, responsibility, and collaboration in a hands-on STEM classroom. I am inspired by their love for learning and their willingness to push through the tough stuff.

My students are doers, leaders, and our future.

My students thrive in a classroom that supports choice, creativity, and the freedom to think outside the box. They start every day with yoga and meditation. My students thrive when problem-solving and finding answers to today's social injustices. They put together a yard sale to send a girl in Pakistan to school. They care. My students love to talk through problems and share ideas. They are collaborative, cooperative, creative, and kind. Each and every day they inspire me to become a better teacher.

My Project

We are in need of chart paper, writing paper, prizes and oil pastels. These are a few classroom basics that would help to get our year off to a great start.

We will use the chart paper and printing paper to build penmanship skills because distance learning prevented many students from pencil paper work.

Last year students talked to text, typed and or made videos to turn in work. Now they will be back in the classroom and many will need to build penmanship and fine motor skills. Last year I sent home all of my art supplies and oil pastels are something that we use quite a bit in second grade. A fresh set would be wonderful. Lastly, the erasers make wonderful prize box items and now that we are back in school the prize box will see some action!
