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

My students need a Glowforge to create 3D projects. They will make their ideas and dreams become a reality with the Glowforge. They will create art using wood, metal, acrylic and other surfaces. For example, they will engrave photos onto ceramic surfaces. The Glowforge will enable them to engrave, cut, and craft. They will make useful items too. Things like pencil holders, pencil boxes and coasters.

My class makes crafts to sell at a craft fair and then donates to charity.

This year they would like to raise money to give teddy bears to children that are hospitalized and to buy food and blankets for shelter dogs. The Glowforge will take their charity fundraising to the next level.
