My Students

My classroom is full of bright, lively third graders who love to learn. Many of my students come to school hungry for knowledge. I strive to engage all students in the power of learning and create lifelong learners who recognize the importance of learning and reading daily.

My students love to read and write and we do so every day.

We are changing the future, one word and one page at a time.

Thank you for stopping by my page and supporting us!

My Project

Growth mindset teaches students that success is possible with hard work, grit, resilience and perseverance! While in these difficult times, I want to inspire my students to keep doing their best work in order to become the best future leaders they can be!

Help me inspire my students to continue growing their brains!

This project includes 12 fiction and nonfiction books with themes like overcoming challenges and self doubt as well as a poster set, Q&A game, and bookmarks. All of these materials will be used to change students’ lives this year and for many years to come.
