My Project

Please help me raise the bar for my students’ mathematical and language arts learning! My students are kind and passionate, and they love learning. I want to give them the opportunity to follow their dreams. I have future poets, engineers, doctors, and you name it!

I want to give my students the opportunity to explore their passions in my classroom with meaningful activities, synthetic manipulatives, and exploratory projects.

I want them to know that they are capable of great things regardless of race, gender, or financial circumstance. I want them to know that our community believes in their ability to affect and change our future in a positive way!
