My Students

My students are amazing! They surprise me each and every day and keep me learning more for them. We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.

My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.

I want to grow with them!

Our school is over 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

We have an amazing classroom filled with students who are willing and ready to learn.

Students need to come to school to learn, engage, and have fun!

If students hate school, they will hate learning. I believe we can make learning fun!

Our snack supply is almost empty. Every day I refill it and my students empty it out again. These snacks keep us fueled throughout the rest of the day. I encourage healthy snacks and this also reminds my students what healthy snacks are.

Flexible seating is an important part of our classroom environment. We are in need of a few replacement chairs though. These stools allow us to wiggle more and let more energy out when we can't be outside. My students love to move. We take many brain breaks throughout the day and thankfully have two recess breaks. Flexible seating allows my students to move while they are engaged and learning!

The camera and web camera cord help us record our fun. Having a classroom that feels like home makes us happy!

The Beta filters will keep our Beta fish healthy.

Thank you for continuing to invest in my classroom! You are making such an impact on our next generation!
