My Students

My students and I are so excited about learning this year! I am hoping to keep them engaged by providing authentic, creative, and meaningful learning experiences. The moment they walk into our classroom, I want them to feel invited and loved. I want them to know that I believe in them and that their voice matters to me as well as our classroom family.

All of my students have the desire to learn, and my goal is to help them achieve excellence in learning by providing a student-focused learning environment that fosters a love for learning.

I am a teacher who strives to ensure that all students are provided with a rigorous and personalized education that will prepare them to be lifelong learners and contributing members in a global society. Please help our eager first graders become self-driven learners by giving them the chance to make their voice heard.

My Project

The Qball throwable wireless microphone would be perfect for our classroom! There are many factors that may affect a student's ability to hear. The QBall will allow my students the opportunity to work on verbal skills, non-verbal communication, and gross motor skills. The throwing of the microphone will increase engagement in our classroom by allowing students to move, amplifying the sound of their voice, and celebrating a mutual respect for others while they are sharing. This all will happen while having a blast because we will be throwing a ball while learning and answering questions in our classroom.

The Qball will truly be a classroom game changer!

I have a student that is in the exceptional children's services because of fine and gross motor skills. He receives OT and this is part of his IEP. This QBall will help him meet one of his goals on his IEP because this will help with throwing and catching larger/round objects.

I also serve several ADHD students. This ball will help them focus and keep them engaged during class discussions, review sessions, and literacy groups.

This Qball will also teach the importance of vocalizing our thoughts and answers. One of my goals is getting students to communicate with one another as a classroom family. The Qball will surely increase student engagement, ensure everyone's voice is heard, and make learning in our classroom even more fun!

With the QBall, valuable communication skills will be taught and celebrated at a young age. This will help my students lives currently and in the future. Good communication is always crucial in society and this QBall will make that much more exciting and engaging in our classroom!
