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

We are very fortunate to be in a 1:1 technology district. Each of my studnets have a chromebook they get to use daily. I love incorporating technology into my teaching and classroom.

We are in need of extra headphones for students who do not have their own!

I normally try to have a classroom stash, but it seems like more and more kids are relying on it.

It is very distracting if multiple chromebooiks are playing outloud without headphones. Having extra pairs would allow my studnets to have access whenver they need to be able to participate in the normal scheduled classroom program.
