My Students

Each year I am amazed to be teaching such amazing, caring, sharing students. They all bring such diverse talents into my room, and into each other's lives. Many of them live in ESL home, almost three-fourths receive free and reduced-price lunch. Our school family focuses on potential, on personal goals and possibilities!

I have 26 active, creative students in my classes.

Working together, supporting each other, trying to encourage each other has become second nature to my students. We focus on helping each other achieve their personal best, knowing it looks different for each and everyone.

My Project

Quality, high-interest, non-fiction books have become one of my students' favorite go-to genres. Helping students understand the world around them is one of the great joys of teaching.

Having a wide selection of informational texts available to my students can have a tremendous impact on their learning.

Studies show that when students are able to self-select books they are more apt to read and retain information. Having different subjects from which to choose will enable me to reach as many of my students' interests as possible. I am hoping to foster a love of learning and reading that will last a lifetime.
