My Students

I live in a rural farming community where people take pride in their work. I am happy to be a first grade teacher and I get the opportunity to work with some awesome six and seven year olds each and every day.

Children love to learn and I enjoy watching them learn and grow each day.

I can't wait to watch them use these items in our classroom, this is going to be our best year ever. First graders rock!

My Project

I teach reading and math to early learners. My students have a hunger for learning and strive to do their best. They love to show and teach others everything they've learned. They are a group that loves learning through technology and hands-on experiences.

Our school has recently purchased Education Galaxy for extra practice on those critical skills my students need.

I am requesting an ipad and some headphones for my students to use in class while using the program that was purchased by the school. I am excited to see where Education Galaxy can take my students and their scores.
