My Students

My students live in a rural town surrounded by cornfields and open space. The school district is growing at a rapid rate, with a current 7th grade class of 250. I am blessed to work with some amazing students - for the most part, they are all eager to learn and willing to try new things in the classroom.

I love getting students out of their seats, working with partners/groups, and trying lots of hands-on projects!

My students are used to hearing me say that I am "using them as guinea pigs" - because I like to change things up each year.

My Project

The first thing we are requesting is a movable white board. This will serve many functions in our classroom. As a teacher, I will use it to write anchor charts and important announcements. The students will be able to use it to present projects/ideas to their peers!

Currently my students are operating with books that are missing pages and just generally falling apart.

With each open of a book, we seem to lose another page or cover! These extra 20 books will really help the students feel good about what they're reading - they won't have to worry about "breaking" it!
