My Students

My students are from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We have a great mix of people who have spent their whole life as "Yoopers" and folks who have moved here from all over the country. My students are caring, curious, and want to know more about the world beyond our rural and remote community.

My Project

Do you remember staring longingly at the shiny expensive candies at the checkout? My students come from a very low income area and those candies have an even stronger pull.

When the fancy candies are in the prize box, my students are ready to step up and share their ideas with the class, present first, act out skits, and try harder to win at games.

With Covid, I have done what I can to bring more fun back into the classroom through games and prizes; and with your help, I can keep building on that little taste of joy that a student gets when they unwrap one of the premium treats from our prize box.
