My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are an inspiration!

My school is considered Title I, meaning the majority of our students come from low-income households or even worse poverty situations.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are!

My students are positive and eager learners who benefit from hands on opportunities.

My Project

Very seldom, if ever, do our young children get to experience what it is like to be in the place of another. This is a beautiful story of hard work and determination and perseverance in the face of evil and overwhelming adversity and hardships. I have not read a book in a very long time that motivated me to care deeply about global issues, but this book stirred in me a desire to help others.

I believe that this book will help drive our motivation and urge us to create a change in our own community.

Every year at Sunburst, we hold a canned food drive for our community. I feel that this book could possibly be a driving force to push us to go out and collect more clean water for the community than we ever have before.
