My Students

Our students are independent learners who love to be challenged and require standards driven instruction each day. These students love learning and achieve high academic goals. They come to school ready to learn each and every school day.

These students are engaged in lessons that have a positive effect on them every school day and in every part of their curriculum.

Their future educational goals will be met since they have been given their academic foundation. As educators, we would like to continue to move them forward and encourage their intellectual curiosity.

My Project

Our students at GT have the incredible experience to go out of the classroom and into a vibrant and blooming school garden. My students want to help the school community to enhance this environment with new plants and flowers. Our spring science lessons will focus on plant life and the very ecosystem they will create. Students will start a worm farm to help our soil grow beautiful flowers and veggies. Then we will harvest these plants and give them away at a Spring Harvest Celebration! My students will experience how knowledge from science is applied to our school garden!
