My Students

We have hardworking, engaged, rock star learners! They each uniquely contribute to our classroom and school community in such positive ways. Our students come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, a majority are considered low-income, as well as a high percentage of English Language Learners.

Our students are high-energy readers, writers, scientists, mathematicians, and crazy awesome leaders and innovators!

Our school and district culture places a large emphasis on teaching to the whole child, meeting students' needs in all ways, so that they can be socially, emotionally, and academically prepared for anything they can dream of for their future lives, including college and vocational opportunities.

I work with all students in the building as a collaborative teacher. I am honored to rotate co-teaching in classrooms with amazing educators and get to know all learners in our building from Kindergarten through 5th Grade classrooms.

My Project

Thank you for investing in this project that will give students across our building access to research resources across various topics.

These materials will allow for research 'bundles' to be put together for students to grab 'n go in any topic they choose!

These pouches will be filled with beautiful books that represent amazing biographies, animals, weather and natural disasters, and biomes and habitats. Students will use these resources as a building wide asset so that teachers don't have to scrounge for topics and best fit readers for each students. Students will grow in in their reading, writing and notetaking skills, research and presenting.

Thank you for your encouragement and for believing in this project. We are so excited to see it come to life!
