My Students

I am the lucky teacher of 23 amazing, smart, fun, energetic, artistic, creative, and amusing third graders. We live in a small, rural community. Our school has a diverse culture. Included in our boundary is a Native American reservation from which a good part of our student body comes.

Our students all qualify for free breakfast and lunch.

Even though our cultures and economic situations are varied, our school is a welcoming place of learning, working together, and providing the best for our children.

My Project

Having a Chromebook is an outlet for an ADHD student to use. Here they are able to play various active learning games, as well as use Google to write and document their feelings and emotions. Often students with ADHD have a difficult time writing, typing can be a great alternative for them.

I want to give my students every opportunity to succeed!

Reading is also a struggle for these students. Having helpful books like "The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD", "Journal of an ADHD Kid", and a workbook for 60 different activities will help me to be able to help these students. It will allow me to step into their world and find what works best for them!
