My Students

I teach excited sixth graders math in an economically disadvantaged middle school. Over 60% of students come from low-income families. Like most sixth graders, my students enjoy being active and engaging in hands-on learning!

I am dedicated to providing a student-centered environment for success for my students!

Having your support in creating our learning environment means I am able to do even more for my students! Thanks to my generous donors, I've been able to make some amazing changes that have allowed my students to enjoy learning! We are helping my students develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime!

My Project

We love to learn through play! Teaching financial literacy is one of my favorite things to do! We have lots of open discussions about money and how the choices we make can effect credit scores. Some kids really get into the conversations! I want to make it more personal and engaging, though. These financial literacy games will help them come to conclusions for themselves and teach about responsible decision making while helping my students get comfortable with financial vocabulary and skills! Win-win! Especially this time in the school year, I need to keep my students involved in their learning. These games will be a fun addition to teaching financial literacy!
