My Students

My students are fun, creative, have incredible growth mindsets, and love to learn. Whenever I present a new concept to them they are ready learn all about it. I really enjoy my kids and having such a great class makes my job that much easier.

I am so proud of my students every day for showing their willingness to learn a language and a new culture.

My students participate in our Spanish Immersion program in a medium sized elementary school in the countryside of Port Orchard, WA. Students start the program in first grade and stay with the same class until fifth grade.

My Project

Flexible seating is the new craze, and last year I joined it! Students get to choose where they sit every day? CRAZY! Yet, at the time, I was not aware of DonorsChoose.org so I had to pay out of pocket for most of my seating. Some of my seating is falling apart so I want to provide my kids with better and more fun seating options to help them learn!

The four office chairs will provide a comfortable and fun workspace for students.

These will replace the old office chairs that I found for free on Craigslist or bought at Goodwill. I plan to use the stools for my small group table so that I can fit more students around it AND have the seats match the funky cool seating that the rest of the class has.

I added the place value chips because I highly believe in using manipulatives to teach math. Therefore, I want to have the best items on hand to successfully teach!
