I have the most creative, amazing, quick-witted, talented students who brighten up my room with their curiosities and creativity. They come from all cultures and demographics. Some have traveled far to be here, whether it is with their military families or relocating from other states or countries to find a better life. Because of our location, students have limited in-person opportunities to see the world, so I strive to open my doors to global opportunities as often as I can. My students deserve every opportunity, and I hope you will choose to partner with our class to make that happen.
Our students dream of finding real-world connections and to make a difference in the lives of their global peers.
They are curious learners and look for ways to uncover solutions to real-world problems. They are deserving of the best life has to offer! Thank you for partnering with us and making a difference in their lives!
My Project
I am requesting funding for an innovative teacher field trip focused on learner diversity and classroom innovation. The teacher field trip experience will help me to incorporate innovative learning styles into my 4th grade classroom. The overall goal for my classroom is to build leaders, to solve real-world problems, and encourage creativity. Each child is unique and through my experiences I can bring back content and knowledge that can relate to each unique child to better their community, the world, and their future.
The Atlanta Teacher Field Trip will give me a once in a lifetime opportunity to investigate, collaborate, and re-imaging what school can be.
The trip will start with a behind the scenes tour and workshop at the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta. We'll visit The Garden School, a K-8 school that promotes a nature-immersed, student centered learning environment and The Marietta Student Life Center, a high school with wrap around services to support every need for every student. We will also visit the Captain Planet Foundation, to explore how schools can embrace environmental science for service learning. Other stops include the Georgia Academy for the Blind, Tubman Museum, Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park, Teach Your Heart Out Conference, Pink Santa Hat Movement Headquarters, David J. Museum, National Center for Civil and Human Rights, Peachtree Publishers, along with many other experiences.
