My Students

I have a wonderful group of 3rd graders that really enjoy learning! My favorite part of teaching is helping my students develop a love for learning! Our school is amazing, and it is a very warm and inviting place. We have a wonderful community of teachers, parents, and students working hard every day to help everyone succeed.

My school has a very diverse population of students and families.

We are located in what some call a bedroom community, because parents work farther from home. Some of our students are low income, English Language Learners, come from single-parent homes, or are living with other guardians. It can be challenging meeting the needs of the varying abilities and backgrounds of the students, but it is something I enjoy doing. I am looking to instill a love for learning in my students.

My Project

We recently went on a field trip during which my students had an opportunity to look at bugs under a microscope. The students were so engaged and enjoying the learning beyond what I have seen in a long time. The conclusion that I came to is that many of them had never had the opportunity to use a microscope before this trip.

With these 5 microscope my students will be able to engage in their science lessons in the classroom.

Next year we will be implementing The Next Generation Science Standards. The students will be looking at the characteristics and traits of bugs and animals. Having a digital microscope that can connect to the computer will allow all the students to see at the same time on the projector. This will also allow us to bring in other classes so that they can see the amazing discoveries of my 3rd grade scientist! The students will be allowed to use the microscopes to look at anything up close!
