My Students

My students are energetic and eager to learn each day. My students come from a diverse socioeconomic background as well as differing academic levels. They are outgoing, creative and love to help others. Each day they are busy reading, writing, and problem solving. They also enjoy time in art, music, guidance, P.E., and library each week.

This group of kiddos have huge hearts and we are beginning the year by building a classroom community.

Each students' individual personality brings character to our classroom.

My Project

As a second grade teacher, I spend a lot of time with my students gathered on the carpet. From Letter land to calendar time and read alouds, we are growing together and learning every day. Help us expand our carpet space so everyone can sit together.

With this carpet, everyone will have an inviting, comfortable space to join their classmates in an adventure of learning!

Do you remember your days in second grade? Remember that feeling of inclusion in being part of a group? This carpet will allow my students that opportunity! Will you help with my Donors Choose project and make this project a reality?
