My Students

Our students are respectful, responsible, on-task winners!

I am teaching the same group of students this year!

I am so excited to see where we can go next with our reading skills! All students are different and the teachers and I work hard to meet the needs of every learner in our building. The first few weeks of school we will complete learning goals to guide our learning and so the children can help build the type of environment that will help them learn best!

We are a Title I school and have a high population of students who receive free or reduced-price lunch.

My Project

It's very important to introduce elementary school students to STEAM ideas so they can tap into and develop their scientific and creative thinking skills. Students will also develop collaborative working skills like turn-taking, discussions, and how to handle disagreements. My student teams will be able to create and design projects with Rube Goldberg Device Kits and support through a Rube Goldberg book.

With the multitude of employment opportunities in these fields, I want to raise my students' confidence and awareness that they can learn about STEAM and begin to collaborate on important ideas!

If students are not introduced to these ideas they may not be prepared for jobs that haven't even been created yet!
