My Project

I love teaching. This year I’m teaching a 6th-8th grade business and communications class. These students will be our next generations CEOs, entrepreneurs, plumbers, content creators, etc. The Cricut 4 will allow them to be creative with each assignment. It will give them unique sense of motivation to put forth their best quality of work and something to be proud of and show parents. The markers and crayons will allow them to tune into their artistic nature when designing logos, proposals, slogans or drawing products before their “launch”. The snacks will be used as incentives and for participating and for overall good effort towards a project or group assignment.

Creativity, Work Ethic and Respect will be emphasized in my classroom.

Everyone will be encouraged to think outside the box and solve real world issues with their own ideas. Students will be reminded that hard work is essential in ANYTHING you do in life, to be successful. Lastly, respect is a MUST and not an option. Whether someone presents good or bad, all students will feel respected and supported.
