My Students

We are great learners today, becoming world leaders tomorrow! The students in my classroom are learners in a full time self-contained talented and gifted classroom. They have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and are constantly on the move while learning. My school is located on a military base and serves only active duty military families. Military children and gifted learners have unique needs. My goal is to create a safe and student-centered classroom that recognizes students' need to be active while learning!

My Project

Reading Stone Fox is a great way to show kids a character with character. It inspires my students and me to become the very best versions of ourselves. It teaches us to lean into hard work, and it shows what it looks like to truly love someone. This book helps me to promote the culture I desire for our classroom.

This award winning and captivating novel is excellent for growth in reading comprehension as well as personal character development.

The main character is a role model for kindness and perseverance. The students will analyze and appreciate the character traits it takes to be a hard working and compassionate citizen.
