My Project

What I love about my second-grade students is their eagerness to learn. I want to ensure that they are given opportunities to engage in fun learning experiences and provided with daily resources to meet their learning needs, so they can continue to thrive.

Resources like the vibrant over-the-ear headphones will ensure that students stay focused on technology-based assignments and applications, eliminating classroom noises and distractions.

Daily classroom materials and resources that seem to run out during the year, such as pencils, colored pencils, erasers, and simple treats for our reward system, will be replenished quickly when these resources are at our fingertips.

With your help, my students will continue to be the happiest classroom on earth with the right tools for their learning needs.
