My Students

I work with a wonderful and diverse group of 29 5th graders in an integrated classroom. We celebrate our differences in my classroom and know that as learners we may need different things at different times to be our very best.

"Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow" is our school's motto.

We work hard to establish a warm, welcoming classroom community where all students can succeed.

My goal is to help all of my students feel successful in my class!

My Project

We are facing unprecedented times in education. I strive to help my students remain engaged in their learning so that they can achieve their personal best!

By donating to my project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and engagement, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement during their most challenging school year!

Time for Kids magazine, will enable each student to have access to their own magazine filled with interesting current events and other non fiction articles. Students will also have access to the material remotely online!

The document camera will allow me to model during my teaching remotely so that the students can watch me live!
