My Students

Our school may be little, but there is a BIG amount of learning going on inside. Our students are innovative, adventurous, and eager to learn. We are always trying to find new and exciting ways to teach our students.

Education is always changing because students are always changing.

To keep up with the high demand of technology resources, we are constantly adapting the way we deliver instruction.

Our students are absolutely amazing and they all deserve an absolutely amazing education!

My Project

Many students in my classroom have emotional disorders. A classroom pet would be used to provide emotional support throughout the school day. Students would be able to go into the special education classroom and help with feeding, cleaning, and caring for the pet.

Pets enhance children's health, education and welfare.

Caring for pets in the classroom is one way of improving attendance and teaching children about responsibility. Many pets love human contact and can develop strong bonds with children. These relationships help strengthen a child's social skills, giving them the potential to do better in the school setting. Having a classroom pet can help provide lifelong skills and support.
