My Students

My students are an amazing group of young adults! The diverse personalities make our classes unique and interesting. We are constantly learning from each other and building strong relationships daily.

My students strive to do their best at everything, every minute of every day.

They are fun, kind, caring, creative, and extremely talented. Each and every student in our room is important, special, and loved. We work together to bring out the best in ourselves and others in our room.

My Project

A new Macbook is requested for our class for lessons, projects and reading groups. It would be very helpful for learning and presenting during class time. We use technology for the majority of our assignments, lessons, research, and activities in our ELA class. So, a new Macbook would be awesome to help us continue our learning!

This Macbook would help us meet our expectations in class and make learning that much easier.

Lessons could be planned and presented through the new computer and activities could be worked on together with this new piece of technology. It would be amazing to have an updated laptop in our room.
