My Students

My school is full of learners who are itching to grow their technology and STEM knowledge! While our students are privileged to live in a supportive community with access to many outreach programs and partnerships - we are hoping to grow the resources we have in our library and learning lab to aid in student lead inquiry and creation!

Our learners range in age from PreK to 5th grade and are inquisitive, eager, and ready to explore the world around them!

In library classes, we explore the world around us with books, research databases, and technology. Our goal is to learn, imagine, and create products that grow our world impact and lead us to become future-ready citizens!

My Project

This project will purchase several books that celebrate and honor the Native American life experience and history. It is important that all students have the opportunity to understand and learn from the lived experiences of a diverse and rich collection of cultures.

This project will act as both a mirror and window for my students.

Some students will see their family and heritage mirrored back to them, while others will explore a perspective that is new and different than their own. The celebration and reflect of these stories is an important part of learning about the world around us.
