My Students

My fifth grade classroom is full of eager-to-learn students. Each child brings a unique personality to the table, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with them.

My students are constantly growing in what we are learning in third grade, and my goal is to meet each child's individual needs!

They come from such diverse backgrounds, and I am hoping to provide an equal opportunity for all of my students. Students are the future, and I want to give them all equal opportunities to achieve their dreams and to be successful!

My Project

My students are very excited to learn about World War II in our Social Studies class. They have been asking many questions about what the world was like during that time.

With a class set of Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, I am hoping to help students understand World War II from the perspective of someone their age during that time.

Teaching such young students about the Holocaust can be difficult, but I think my students will thoroughly enjoy reading this story and it will help answer a lot of their questions.
