My Students

As a teacher in a rural, high poverty/low income school, my students face many challenges inside and outside the classroom. Despite the challenges, my students are energetic, loving, and ready to learn! I am wanting to give the students exposure to resources and experiences they may not otherwise receive.

My students are hands-on learners and love movement in the classroom.

Many are raised by single parents and receive free lunch based on socioeconomic status. These things may hinder them from what we consider typical life experiences. From the moment they enter my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth socially as well as academically. By teaching in a creative and positive way, I hope to inspire my students to achieve academic excellence and become life long learners.

My Project

Who doesn't love hands on learning? Sixth graders love learning new things -especially when it involves using their hands! Having the opportunity to explore the smaller parts of life will intrigue and develop a desire to learn more about our world.

Looking at paramecium in pond water, finding the different parts of plant and animal cells, and learning about plants and insects are just a few of the incredible ways my students will be able to use the microscopes.

With microscopes that connect to computers, laptops, and tablets, the students will have the opportunity to share their discovery with the class. What a wonderful way to learn and spark a life long love of science!
