My Students

My students are fun, energetic, happy, and eager learners. Each student adds value to our school with their different dynamics.

My students are kind, considerate, responsible, respectful, engaged, and eager to learn.

We are always looking for ways to implement activities and tangible items to help with our cross curriculum all year round.

My Project

Every student wants to feel valued, seen, heard, and celebrated. Each year, I try to find more ways to celebrate diversity within our own classroom!

Each multicultural book will enhance our lessons when I teach them about unity, friendship, love, kindness, respect, families, similarities and differences, holidays and traditions from around the world, and many valuable lessons.

It is important for children to learn at a young age about how to be inclusive, create unity, and to celebrate similarities and difference around them. They become better humans by looking for the good in others and realizing that we are alike in many ways.
