My Students

It is a privilege to get to work with young, growing minds, students who are a joy to be around, after a year and a half of distance learning hiatus from the physical classroom. They come to school ready to learn, looking forward to learning something new.

Eager, enthusiastic, out-of-the-box thinkers, my students are primed for a hands-on and relational learning environment.

They are capable and curious, and I would love to facilitate the growth of their potential with the necessary tools and equipment.

My Project

Measure. Mix. Cut and Core. All that and more! These are the functional skills my students will experience with these kitchen tools. It's one thing to talk about it, actually doing it will open up more neuropathways to make learning more effective.

Encouraging communication, building academic skills, and supporting confidence.

Getting these kitchen supplies are the first steps in fostering self-direction and independence. Fine motor and eye-hand coordination skills are developing when chopping, mixing, squeezing, and spreading. We have had fun thus far making do with tools we could scrounge together, having supplies for our own classroom, to use each week, would be awesome.
