My Students

Hello! My students are an intelligent, inquisitive, creative, and thoughtful group of second graders. They are very involved with technology and love it when it can be integrated into our classroom. As their teacher, I have always made it my mission to make learning exciting and fun for them. They enjoy playing Kahoot, quizizz, and other platforms that expand their learning.

Even with virtual learning keeping us distant from each other during this time, we are still our own little family.

We have grown close and shared many memorable moments together. I am honored and proud to be their teacher, and they are proud to be my very first group of students.

My Project

My students will be able to achieve confidence and pride in learning daily. My students will be able to independently, share social distancing in-person learning by using materials of this project. My students and I have selected the Do-A-Dots, number math mats, and hopscotch play carpet that we can use in class for success, in Math lessons. My students are excited about being a part of ordering selections for our class of 2021-22. This project has allowed my students to see all that goes into planning and selecting enhancing items that can be used and seen by each student for the development of learning achievement.
