My Students

Teaching is my passion. My classroom is a happy place for myself and my students. My students come in with a smile on their faces.

They students come to school to learn, communicate, and have fun.

They are energetic, hilarious, athletic, and eager. They are eager to learn and eager to get new knowledge. I have never met kids who love to read or love to share their thoughts and thinking more than these students.

They are special because they are the leaders of tomorrow. They are worth every extra minute, every extra dollar, and deserve nothing but the best.

My Project

I thought the Virtual Reality was just another form of video games, but after seeing only parts of what can be done I am excited to try to get it be part of my classroom.

Incoporating technology and now Virtual Reality into our classroom learning seems to be inevitable.

I am ready to test how it can help my reluctant learners and continue my goal of always making learning fun.

These would play a large part in bringing history to life, making math seem more hands on and so much more!
