My Students

My students bring such joy to my life and I am thankful to be their teacher. We seriously have some of the best students in our small town, elementary school. I know that every school and every teacher says that, but I know just how amazing our students are.

We are over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need.

I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

Our year is coming to a close but I thought I'd write one more project. Our lamination and markers are running out and this is exactly when we need them.

Each day my students are creating a personal poster for their classmates.

They are filling it with wonderful compliments and kind words. Everyone is excited to be able to take them home. Our markers are running dry and I'd really like to continue to use the fun, smelly markers. They just add that special touch.

Every year we make end of the year memory books. This year I'm running out of lamination for the front and back covers. It'd be great to have these to finish up this last project with them.

The flare pens will be perfect for signing yearbooks and memory books. They love borrowing mine, which is just fine, but they are reaching their max workload.

The folders will be used to organize our math stations for the end of the year.

Thank-you for considering my students! They are truly the best and I'm glad for all of our experiences together!
