My Students

For the past seven years I've taught many energetic groups of Kindergarten students. They come to school each day eager to learn and are willing to take on any task presented to them.

They are curious, creative and love hands-on opportunities!

As their teacher, I am committed to motivating them through hands-on learning. I strongly feel hands-on learning keeps students engaged and gives them the opportunity to explore their questions through research.

I am very excited to be moving to first grade this year and cannot wait to continue to foster their independence and help them grow as a student.

My Project

Children learn best through active exploration. The use of STEM materials will help my students foster ingenuity and creativity; which will lead to new ideas and innovations.

These STEAM activities will encourage communication, teamwork questioning and problem solving.

Students will learn how to plan, create, and modify. Most importantly, they will understand that mistakes are an important part of the learning process and gives us the opportunity improve.

STEM activities help teachers foster the love of learning and builds confidence in our young leaners. These activities are another way to engage and support the variety of learning styles represented in a classroom.
