My Students

Hardworking. Dedicated. Adaptable. Ambitious. Eager. Resourceful. Responsible. Persistent. Diligent. Adventurous. Collaborative. Creative. These are all words that I would use to describe my students.

I teach 170 of the most captivating, diverse students you can possibly imagine, students of all levels, from special needs to gifted and talented, with a myriad of ethnic and financial backgrounds.

These young people spark a Marie Kondo level of joy in my life that I just cannot explain with simple words. I want nothing more than to teach them the most engaging Texas History lessons possible with the resources that they deserve.

My Project

I am so excited to be teaching history for the very first time. I am excited. My students are excited, and we are on this journey together. Due to the fact that I have not taught this content area before, my classroom and I lack resources.

My students have a thirst for knowledge, and I would love to be able to give them an extensive classroom library so that they can deepen their knowledge.

Whenever we bring up new topics, students want to know more. We do not always have access to technology, so I would love to get them access to books to reference. Having a shelf of books in a classroom is a very powerful thing. Not only does it give students opportunities to extend their learning, but it helps to build relationships by opening up opportunities for conversation.
