My Students

My students are working to become lifelong learners. These amazing and strong students are working to become productive and responsible adults. My students use school as a safe place to engage in successful and respectful interactions with staff and students.

These students work together on cooperative learning projects by applying class skills to real world knowledge.

My students inspire me to be the best teacher and my best self. My students challenge me with introducing new topics for discussions and bringing in ideas for projects and activities. My classes are built around what will engage my students.

My Project

Salt: A World History will allow my students to work on improving their personal literacy levels along with linking world events to their lives. This is a new way to allow the students to explore the world from their chairs. They are able to use their minds to explore foreign regions.

Salt is a vital to human existence and vital to how the world was shaped.

Salt: A World History gives me a new tool to engage my students in their education. These discussions will be used to develop critical thinking skills along with skills in civil discourse. Two skills of which are vitally important in our growing and diverse society.
