My Students

My students have not been in school since early March 2020 due to Covid-19. In August, they will be both anxious and excited to get back to school and see their friends.

As freshmen and sophomores, this is the inaugural group of students entering the new two year carpentry program at our career and technical center.

This is not only a new program for the students, but it is also a change in teaching paths for me. For over twenty years, I have taught special education and science. As the carpentry teacher, I am looking forward to combining my love of woodwork with my love of teaching. I am also excited about getting to teach many of my former students again!

My Project

As students return to school after an extremely long break due to Covid-19, they are going to step back into a school environment unlike any they have ever been exposed to before. Safety and social concerns will be on the forefront of everyone's minds.

As students enter carpentry class, they will have an opportunity to escape into a creative environment that encourages them pour their energy out into meaningful, productive projects, such as turning wood on a wood lathe.

With a mini wood lathe and accompanying materials, students will be able to create pens, wood bowls, and other creative, artistic pieces. This is a skill that they will be able to take away from school and cultivate as deeply as they like, whether that be as a hobby or as part of a career.
