My Students

I have been so fortunate to teach curious passionate children for seventeen years as a science cluster teacher for grades kindergarten through fifth. When I was hired, I was shown a stairwell where my "teaching materials" were kept, and was told I would travel from room to room every period on three different floors (with no elevator)! I taught over five hundred students every week for ten years and with perseverance, lots of organization and a bit of creativity. I tried my best to deliver science curriculum and content. Now, we have been blessed with a new building that houses our pre-K through eighth grade students and I have a beautiful science lab where I hope to not only deliver content, but experiences as well!

It truly touches me to be a role model and inspiration for these children year after year, watching them grow and become young adults.

Even, when they move onto our middle school, they come back to visit me, help out in my class, take in the new thematic decor, or feed our pets. The best is when they just want to be a part of my lessons and activities and see what's happening in the room!

My Project

The materials purchased will help to aid in interactive and exciting center activities for students, as well as keep remote learning work streamlined and engaging.

There are thousands of awesome educators who have created materials for other educators and students to access.

Finding exciting lessons are a click away on Teachers Pay Teachers. This website will allow me to purchase awesome curriculum materials and resources for my class. Interactive lessons, escape rooms, scavenger hunts, web quests, centers, reference materials, educational prints-outs you name it. Teachers Pay Teachers has it all.
