My Students

I have a wonderful and diverse group of students. I have over six different languages spoken in my classroom. Many of my students speak very little English and have just recently come to the United States as refugees from other countries. The diversity in the classroom can cause challenges for teaching, but it also makes my room unique and special! I wouldn't have it any other way!

My students love to learn, laugh and play!

They are curious, self-motivated learners who always want to know more!

My Project

This is a project that is focusing on learning about ourselves and our five senses. We are requesting What’s the Sound? Mystery Capsules and Touch & Feel Mystery Capsules.

Students learn best through hands-on exploration.

I want my students to use these mystery capsules to experience with their sense of hearing and touch.

I am also requesting magnetic picture frames. With our five senses unit, we have questions of the day relating to things we like to see, touch, hear, taste, and smell. The students will be able to uses these magnetic picture card holders to vote and choose what choice they like best. This will help incorporate reading and math into our science curriculum.
