My Students

Amazing students, that’s who I teach! However, my amazing students don’t always have the best circumstances. I teach at a school with 100% free lunch students. Those statistics are extremely gut-wrenching at times but definitely do not define my students.

My students are smart, brave, endearing, loving, and hard workers.

I try to help my students in every way possible to master all the skills needed in school and life. We are more than a school. We are a family!

My Project

As a kid, what was your favorite class? I want my students to say, SCIENCE! Science should be fun and hands on.

If you're a scientist, you should look the part!

I want to get a set of bigger sized aprons so all students can fit comfortable in their scientist garb. We really need good headphones with microphones for some of the activities we do. I want to get my class more science kits, to make hands on learning fun. I want to get wobble stools for those students that need movement to stay focused and on task. I really want a standing desk for the students that need to stand to work better.

All of these things would really help our science classroom be the very best!
