My Students

My students are kind and natural leaders. They love to come to school. They are always getting recognized for their excellent attendance rates. Despite coming from a rural area, they find a way to get to school every day.

My students are creative and driven by success.

All of my students are fascinated with technology and dream of a life filled with it. They aspire to do great things and when asked what they want to be when they grow up, they know math and science are in every essential career. Most of my students only have access to technology at school.

My students are explorers. They are full of grit and drive to do better. They know the way to living their best life is through hard work. Their education is their ticket to go anywhere!

My Project

One of the most exciting times during the school year is when we are studying Earth in space. Students love to hear the story of how we have traveled to the moon and soon will be on Mars!

I want to represent all scientists and people who have contributed to science and space exploration since the beginning of the space program.

Students in my class are encouraged to read when they are finished with their classwork.

Filling the shelves with as many interesting and educational books helps me foster a love of space, reading, and science in my class.
