My Project

My students are creative inventors that thrive in a hands-on all inclusive learning environment. Students can use headphones for virtual learning, and have a space where they can press pause during SEL time. This upcoming school year, my goal is to make learning more interactive than ever by providing a classroom environment where student engagement is high. My goal is also to create a community garden for our school where students can spend time exploring our environment and how we can work together to preserve Earth's biodiversity. This project will give my students an opportunity to ignite their best intellectual selves through environmental exploration
