My Students

My students are children who are full of life. They have a thirst for knowledge, are creative, witty and come to school with the intention of learning everyday to become a better version of themselves.

I love providing multiple ways for my students to learn whether it's through technology, collaborative work, or even fun games!

Making my classroom a place where students feel comfortable and look forward to coming to everyday is a top priority for me.

My Project

Headphones Help Us Learn Effectively! It is the middle of the year and we need new sets. I am surprised the headphones we were given at the beginning of the by our microtech has even lasted this long.

In class, my students use their computers almost everyday to complete iReady lessons (an individualized learning program, watch learning videos to support my instruction, and even read books.

This project will have such a major impact in achieving our academic goals. My students and I will be so grateful that you helped support effective learning in our classroom and we can't wait to have our project funded!
