My Students

Do you remember what it was like to be a first grader? Full of excitement, curiosity, and love? I would like to instill my love and passion for learning in all my students.

My classroom full of first graders is special because they are full of curiosity about learning, eager to work hard, and ambitious about being successful!

They learn through hands-on projects, real life experiences, and technology. Learning is fun and exciting everyday in our classroom.

Our community in Mesa, AZ is filled with amazing families that support our school and our student's learning. Our elementary school has just over 500 students with a wide range of ability levels and unique talents.

My Project

I would love to provide a safe place for my student's artwork to dry. Currently, artwork gets placed on the floor throughout the room to dry and sometimes gets ruined after completing a painting project. Help me stop any more first grader broken hearts! An art drying rack will help my student's artwork get treated like the masterpieces that they are.

My students are creative, artistic, and nothing short of amazing.

I love coming to work everyday and watching them create art. They teach me something new every single day. They deserve the absolute best and I will do anything that I can to make sure they get it.
