My Students

All students are unique and special, and they all are unique and special learners. My classroom is made up of energetic and inquisitive learners, but need choices when it comes to their best learning style! My students have a wide range of learning levels and abilities.

I strive to meet the needs of all my learners while maintaining an engaging and positive environment!

I believe it is important to provide options and give choices to students in everything from seating to project choices to rule creation-every voice in my classroom maters and is heard!

My Project

Many students struggle to read, concentrate, and connect to the classroom environment.

Thankfully, Amazon Echo Dot For Kids is full of audio books for all ages, kid friendly podcasts, wellness movement breaks, soothing music, and so much more!

An Alexa Dot will also encourage students to responsibly and safely access technology. This device can even teach students manners and how to manage stress.

The Alexa Dot is full of untapped resources that are designed to enhance the classroom experience made specifically for kids with safety features in addition to all of the fun we know the original dot to have!
