My Students

My classroom is full of bright, lively third graders who love to learn. Many of my students come to school hungry for knowledge. I strive to engage all students in the power of learning and create lifelong learners who recognize the importance of learning and reading daily.

My students are future leaders!

We are changing lives, one word and one page at a time. Thank you for stopping by my page and supporting us!

My Project

My students are mathematicians who are always looking for new ways to explore the world of calculations!

This project will help extend my students’ mathematical thinking by allowing them hands on experiences in a variety of ways.

The different types of dice including double dice and multi-sided dice will assist in playing math games: one of the students’ favorite ways to learn! The fraction magnets and stackables will be used in small groups for students to explore the difficult concept of numbers less than one whole for the first time.

Each of these supplies will ensure students have access to learn and explore math in exciting new ways for years to come!
