My Students

My students are excited to be back to school. I’m touched by their acts of kindness towards each other. My students are the best, and brightest! Our future leaders...They are my driving force.

"Every person needs a place that is furnished with hope."

-Maya Angelou

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”

-Marianne Williamson

My goal is to have a classroom that meets all of my students academic needs-feeling a sense of support emotionally, and intellectually, an environment for their safety and well-being.

Read! Set! Let’s learn.

My Project

Your donations are certainly appreciated! Our class objective is to read and demonstrate good comprehension of text in the areas of reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies.

I’m satisfied knowing that I’ve had a major impact on my students' lives.

To see my students building meaningful relationships, reaching their academic goals, and showing acts of kindness gives me joy.

The goal is for my students to achieve academic excellence. It’s essential that all lessons are aligned with the curriculum, benchmarks, and test data.

Education first! They are definitely our best and brightest! The classroom is where the magical moments begin.
