My Project

Let's cherish the final days of elementary school together! Our class has shared countless joys through literature circles, exploring diverse cultures with each turn of the page. But as we approach the end of 5th grade, we're yearning for new tales to make our farewell unforgettable.

Throughout this year, we've captured the magic of our journey in thousands of photos, each frame holding a precious memory.

I dream of preserving these moments for a lifetime by gifting each student a USB drive filled with these cherished snapshots.

But that's not all. I want to impart a timeless gem to accompany my students on their future adventures: "Miss Rumphius." This classic tale follows the footsteps of Alice Rumphius, who, like us, dared to dream of making the world more beautiful. From her story, we learn the power of spreading seeds of kindness and beauty wherever we go.

This book holds a special place in my heart, gifted to me by a beloved professor two decades ago as I embarked on my teaching journey. Now, I'd like to pass on this tradition to my dear students, as they prepare to step into the next chapter of their lives. I hope "Miss Rumphius" inspires them to leave their own mark, to scatter seeds of positivity and joy as they venture into middle school and beyond.

Please help me make our last days of elementary school truly remarkable, filled with the warmth of shared stories and the promise of brighter tomorrows.
