My Students

I have a diverse group of students. Their ability levels range in ability from students who struggle in school, due to learning disabilities, to gifted. One common characteristic among all students is their enthusiasm for learning.

I work diligently to plan exemplary literacy lessons and activities that challenge the students, but also allow them to use their unique talents and abilities to showcase or demonstrate their depth of knowledge.

I want to motivate and inspire my students to become lifelong learners.

My Project

Sixth grade students enjoy a classroom that exudes positive vibes and is safe, warm, and academically robust. It is my goal to foster reading skills, creativity, and develop a love of learning.

We are requesting funding to purchase a Silhouette machine, vinyl, and cutting mats so that we can create anchor charts, posters, and other visuals to enhance our classroom and make it a space that students love coming to.

In addition to the academic visuals, we will also have the ability to design unique personalized incentives for learning. These learning tools and incentives will help foster highly successful students.
