My Students

My students are intelligent, kind hearted and very curious. They love to learn about new subjects everyday. They come to school each day eager to learn and grow. They are my world!

Math and Science opens up another world for my students.

Investigating the unknown helps them stay creative! Many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing practice assignments at home because of lack of supplies and resources. I also want to start a S.T.E.M program with my students and hopefully for the whole GEO family schools nationwide!

My Project

Rewarding students is necessary for learning! Many students will return this fall from being virtual all last year to in person learning. It's going to be extremely challenging to keep them engaged. Rewarding students throughout the difficult school year is imperative for their success. This will help keep my scholars on task.

Every student should be reward for their outstanding performance.

Every Friday I reward my scholars with a small token to keep them motivated academically throughout the school year. Some children are faced with hardships daily. Many don't have anyone to tell them good job or to reward them for doing well. Thanks for being apart of rewarding and motivation my scholars.
