My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school. I have only just received my class list and started to get to know my students' names and faces.

Third grade students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.

I want to grow with them! Our school includes over 60% free or reduced-price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.

Our third grade is one big giant family. We don't get to mingle this year like we would in past years but we still find ways to stay connected to each other.

My Project

Every day we do extraordinary things within the walls of our classroom. My students are superheroes. They are reaching toward their goals and they are pushing themselves.

I am so proud of who they already are.

They excite me every day and I am so thankful to be their teacher.

These classroom supplies are so important to the rest of our school year. The day dots will be used to label their work when send home for virtual learning weeks. The glow items will used as we reach goals in our classroom. The magnet clips will hang up important work on our boards. The magnetic calendar will allow us to stay organized and have fun things to look forward to, too. The white board erasers are for our math and ELA learning.

The socks will be gifts to wear in our days leading up to winter break. We did a sock exchange last year and it was so much fun!

Your investment in our classroom doesn't go unnoticed. These will allow our classroom to thrive and grow and become all that we can become. Thank you for investing in my classroom family. You are now a part of all that we are too!
