My Students

Hola! こんにちは! Hello! سلام! Ciao! I am a fourth-grade teacher at an elementary school in Utah. Here we honor individuality, value differences, and celebrate diversity! Among my fourth graders are multiple ethnicities, languages, and personalities.

My students are valued members of their community and are passionate about learning!

They are eager to take on challenges, express their ideas, and make new friends. Our classroom is a place full of happiness, growth, and empathy!

My Project

I am looking to expand my classroom library! Books are an essential part of every classroom and crucial to student growth. I want all of my students to see themselves in a book and to experience new things. I want my books to expand my students' thoughts and inspire them. With the support of others, I can continue to update and add meaningful books to my classroom library.

My students deserve a library as diverse and unique as they are and my goal is to make that happen.

I hope that each of my students can find their own page-turner and experience the joy of reading.
