My Project

I truly enjoy teaching second grade and absolutely love the inquisitive minds my students possess! They are thoughtful, curious, eager to learn, and imaginative! They enjoy reading, writing, dancing, singing, and making up new cheers for celebrating the many accomplishments in our classroom.

My students are passionate readers and have a thirst for knowledge that astonishes me every day!

They are thrilled to discover new things in the world around them. They truly enjoy nonfiction reading and are also interested in science and experiments!

With the beautifully illustrated Kate Riggs books, students will be able to research different animals and write reports to share with their classmates. They love sharing what they have learned! They will also conduct science experiments in groups and document data. This will help to develop their understanding of the scientific method and similar processes.

My students are enthusiastic and eager to immerse themselves in nonfiction reading and information, which in turn, creates engaged and well-rounded students wanting to discover more, more, more!
