My Students

I work with students ages 4-11 years old. My students are hard workers, curious, and creative! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions.

They love to have fun while learning!

My students love reading! Sometimes my students struggle with concepts and need extra help, but they never give up. I admire the grit and perseverance for learning. They always look forward to learning new skills and keep it positive.

My Project

With school closures that took place in 2020 due to COVID, students are struggling to transition back to face-to-face learning and interacting socially with others. Basic social skills, friendship skills, conflict resolution, and managing emotions have decreased as a result of being isolated from their peers for over a year. My students are in need of classroom social emotional activities, such as toys, games and writing prompts, and supports that will strengthen these crucial skills. Multiple counseling mindsets and behavior will be addressed, as well as NV Health Standards: 1.ME.K.1 Identify different emotions & 1.ME.K.2 List ways a person shows emotions.
