My Project

My students are curious, energetic, and they have a strong desire to learn the past history of the United States to the present. Their enthusiasm is profound and growing day by day. I love how I can connect my students with present day events to events that occurred 100 years ago.

I truly care about the well-being of my students and as these warm spring months arrive many of my students are participating in outdoor spring sports such as: track, baseball, and softball.

Providing needed water and juice upon request not only warms my heart but theirs as well. Having refreshing water and juice on hand will indeed keep my students focused on learning.
