My Students

The mind is active and so are the students at my school. I like activating my students' minds and bodies by planning engaging lessons that require us to roll up our sleeves, and sometimes get dirty. This project is about putting students first and considering their needs.

I work at an Arts Integration School in Maui, Hawaii.

I teach 5th-grade students of mixed backgrounds and ethnicities. I feel truly blessed to teach these creative and diverse minds. This project will help my amazing students have an amazing year!

My Project

My students learn about American History in the 5th grade. They also learn next generation science standards. I need books in my classroom to help support learning in these to areas. These non-fiction books can be read together as a class and for independent reading.

I want to make learning strong by integrating science and social studies into my reading blocks.

I will be able to do this better with a more well established library geared toward the standards we are learning. Help me build a great non-fiction library for the students to use for years to come. Thank you for your support.
