My Students

I have 12 amazing students that are part of in person learning. I love how they all make the effort to come to school each and every day. They are excited to be with the rest of the class even though we have such a small group right now. We are all looking forward to better times but aren't forgetting to make this time the best and most memorable.

My students are very special because they have unique situations in their homes.

I have a set of twins whose mom is an essential worker. Their mom has to work so the days my students are not in school they have to travel with their mom to her work (hospital) so that they too can be part of the class remotely.

My Project

The use of hands on materials is used in their daily activities in my classroom, especially in math. Using the workshop model in math, students come to the rug with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
