My Students

My students are passionate about the world around them! They work hard to meet their academic goals. My students enjoy working collaboratively and enjoy working on long term projects that will prepare them for middle school, high school and beyond. My students are intrinsically motivated to be the best they can be!

My students are creative, inquisitive, and full of life.

My students are kind and caring and are motivated to make the world a better place. My students love hands-on, project based learning!

My Project

I am requesting air purifying indoor plants to create a welcoming environment for my students and community members. We will incorporate monitoring the plants across content: we can measure and chart the plants growth in math, take notes on the plants health during science and can use the plants as subjects during art. Students will also learn to care for the plants developing responsibility and taking pride in our space.

Growing and caring for plants teaches students responsibility and develops feeling of pride and ownership of the classroom environment!

Students always love the classroom job of botanist. Together we will care for the plants and watch them grow.
