My Students

I teach at a STEM-focused elementary school. My students are creative, inquisitive, and compassionate second graders. They are learning about community, responsibility, and collaboration in a hands-on STEM classroom. I am inspired by their love for learning and their willingness to push through the tough stuff.

My students are doers, leaders, and our future.

My students thrive in a classroom that supports choice, creativity, and the freedom to think outside the box. They start every day with yoga and meditation. My students thrive when problem-solving and finding answers to today's social injustices. They put together a yard sale to send a girl in Pakistan to school. They care. My students love to talk through problems and share ideas. They are collaborative, cooperative, creative and kind. Each and every day they inspire me to become a better teacher.

My Project

My students need supplies to start their chocolate unit of study. They need molds, hot pots to melt the ingredients, cacao, cacao butter, and powdered milk to make chocolate from scratch. In this integrated curricular unit, my students will meet the standards in many different subjects. First, they will meet the Next Generation Physical Science standards through learning about changing states of matter. Next, they will learn about multiplication with arrays by exploring chocolate molds. They will also read non-fiction reading with articles about fair trade, cacao farming, and chocolate making. They will write persuasive paragraphs explaining why their chocolate is the best. Finally, they will learn how people use land, communities, and producers and consumers to round out the unit with social studies. This is my students favorite unit of the year. It is the yummiest too!
