My Students

I am currently working at a Charter School in San Diego California. With one class per grade level, students start Kindergarten with the same students they graduate with in 8th grade. Students and families are actively involved in learning and growing as Project Based Learning is a big part of what our school is about.

My students are San Diego natives that love to learn.

All 30 of my students bring different personalities and learning styles that make working with new concepts interesting and exciting. My classroom is filled with concentration, laughter, and ah-ha moments that make 4th grade a great year of growing.

My Project

Children love to learn in fun and engaging ways. Using the math and literacy games in this project, my students can continue to practice skills we are working on in class in a more exciting and collaborative way.

Fourth graders can use games to help build on core skills we work on as a class.

After a whole group lesson, students can continue growing and learning on their own or with their peers through appealing and captivating activities.

Students have so much fun through playing, they don't even realize their using math and reading skills! These materials would make all the difference for my students as they will keep them focused and excited about learning!
