My Students

My students are driven, determined, and dedicated. I have the privilege of working with gifted and talented students K-5th grade. I'm so excited to be able to facilitate their learning as they take the wheel! My students are creative, motivated and love a challenge.

My students love to problem solve, have an insatiable curiosity and are critical thinkers.

My students need continuous opportunities to explore and create. My desire is to provide learning experiences for them to grow and reach their goals.

My Project

These garden supplies will assist our students as we work on our school garden. All classes will get to participate in planting, learning and caring for our garden. Our Harvest Club will also put in additional work after school learning about plants and gardening. The soil will help get seedlings started in our green house and additional tools will help all students to take part in activities. The students will love adding their own beauty to the garden with paint your own stepping stones. Additionally, we will plant a pollinator garden and would love to give bees a home with the bee house. We are already so excited with our progress in the garden. This will only continue to help encourage the students in their project.
