My Students

My students bring my classroom alive! Their love of learning and curiosity is why I love my job! I've created an environment in my classroom where my students feel safe and nurtured.

If you were to walk into my classroom, you would feel as if you were walking into our home and you would see that we are more of a big family than a class.

My class consists of 12 eager to learn second graders in a rural district. Our room is full of readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and dreamers. I am always encouraging my students to get up and get learning in their "home like" classroom. There is truly nothing better than watching my students engage in active learning together.

My Project

Lego’s are naturally an engaging item to students. What my students have not experienced yet is the ability to learn with their beloved lego bricks!

Learning with Legos is so engaging not just for play but it will naturally boost their motivation to learn more through exploration.

It is my goal to create life long learners and I believe that when the students are engineering the the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core Set, I will be guiding them as they develop 21st-century skills like problem solving, collaboration, and communication. They will learn life, physical, earth, and space sciences which is something my students do not get enough exposure to.
