My Students

Do you remember the first time you read a book that you just couldn't put down? Do you remember your elementary school teacher? I am striving to create classrooms where students truly choose to WANT to learn each and every day. My students are creative, loving, and always willing to learn and work hard. I would love for their lessons to be truly amazing as my students.

My students inspire me every day with their excitement.

I would like to keep the excitement going as they are entering upper elementary grades, (3rd-5th grade). Our school is located in rural central Virginia where over 80% of the students receive free and/or reduced lunch and breakfast.

My Project

I am ready for the teacher conference of the summer! I would like to join the Get Your Teach On team for a complete engagement experience that will leave me feeling empowered, motivated, and prepared to create dynamic lessons that will challenge my students and amp up my rigor all while building a true love for learning in my students all year long! It’s time to take my ordinary standards and create an extraordinary learning experience for my students!

I will join thousands of educators from around the world as we come together to be inspired, supported, and immersed in a community that is striving to create classrooms where students truly choose to WANT to learn each and every day.

As a reading interventionist specialist, I have many students who are developing strategies to read. This experience will allow me to create even more engaging lessons for my students.
