My Students

My students are amazing, marvelous and challenging on many levels. They come to school excited, eager to experience an exciting lesson. I often refer to them jokingly as “challenging customers” that refuse to accept second best. As I try my best to provide excellent customer service to my clientele, I find that it is never enough to just teach.

It is a journey to discover how best to serve every single one of my students and get them ready for college and for life and I am enjoying the ride.

Our school is a Title I school in Atlanta where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of our students are facing many socioeconomic challenges that hinder their academic success. As I observe them interact with one another, enthused in a lesson, I regain my conviction that a future is possible and achievable for all my students.

My Project

Our students will us the vinyl to make various creation on our Cameo Silhouette. We will make personalized t-shirts, cups, and bags. We will be able to design cover for notebooks and binders and each student will have clear label for their items.

Being able to bring to life ideas from our minds is a must for our students that are learning more about STEM and how to apply their knowledge to real life.

I can not wait to see all the creations that will come forth from all the bright minds in our classroom.
