My Students

I teach 3rd grade gifted in a local public school. This means that my 3rd grade students are learning 4th grade level math and writing from me. Some students are new to gifted, and therefor skipped a whole grade level- content-wise. We work hard to bridge these gaps and have fun along the way. Our classroom is full of special thinkers!

4th grade math can be a challenge for 3rd graders, but in my classroom we try to make it Meaux fun!

We connect word problems to real life and we constantly motivate each other along the way. We stay in the struggle and follow our motto, "work hard and be kind."

My Project

Ever since I got into education, I've been inspired by the educators and ideas at the Ron Clark Academy. They are a model of education as it should be- and how I want it to be in my classroom.

This training will transform me as an educator!

I will be able to observe real classrooms taught by highly effective teachers. I will walk away with new classroom management techniques, new engagement strategies, better ways to incorporate games, rigor, and higher-order thinking into my current curriculum, and much much more. All of the strategies I see at RCA can be adapted to bring back to my classroom and benefit many students over the years right here in Louisiana.
