My Students

My students are amazing, little people with great questions, talents, and varying abilities. They are wiggly, silly, love coming to school, and love learning! They love being able to move while they're learning and exploring new and different materials.

One of my favorite things about our classroom is the community that we have built.

They love working together and celebrating each others success. We have so many different types of learners with various abilities. They engage in their learning in a way that fosters growth and love. I love being their teacher and sharing in their learning!

My Project

I saw a book title that said, "Leaders like Me", and I instantly knew that I needed to represent diverse leaders that reflect the learners in our classroom. My students are just that, the future leaders of this country. Many of my students are immigrants to our country or come from homes where they may have experience trauma. My number one goal is to make them feel welcome and that they belong at school. Being able to represent them in books, puzzles, games, and art supplies and materials helps them know that they are important and they are leaders.
