My Students

My classroom is full of energetic, kind, and caring little ones. They are a diverse group of children representing over ten countries with varying native languages.

We are curious about all subject matters and love to explore our world.

Whether we are using technology to strengthen our math skills, diving into literature independently and with friends, or researching our favorite topic, students are constantly engaged in learning.

We want our classroom to be a safe place where students feel confident to take risks academically, socially, and emotionally. We are able to achieve this goal when students are equipped with the best essential supplies that every dynamic first-grade​ classroom deserves.

My Project

Picasso said, "Every child is an artist." I'd like to provide my students with access to creative arts by having an art station in our classroom. My students will have a designated area organized with: a trace and draw projector, paint, tissue paper, markers, Play Doh and more. Students will use Play Doh to stamp out spelling words, and create designs all while strengthening fine motor skills. Each set of pens: gel, liquid watercolor, glitter glue and calligraphy has a specific purpose and that is, exploration and creation!

Our Art Station will: encourage self-expression, boost self-confidence, enhance social skills and strengthen problem solving abilities.

Creativity is contagious!
