My Students

My first-grade students love to learn! Every morning they walk into our classroom with a big smile. They love to read, to be read to, play math games, work on coding, and write stories. They are curious and inquisitive children, and they challenge me every day to grow with them and be the best I can be.

We work hard to create a classroom community where students can explore, wonder, and discover the world around them.

We ask questions, share our ideas, expand our learning environment using technology, and publish our work to share with the world. They work and collaborate with one another to learn.

Our school also focuses on character building. Children's kindness and compassion are recognized and celebrated. We are proud to be a part of an amazing school. We are a family. We learn, play, laugh, and grow together!

My Project

We are approaching to the end of the school year! We would like to finish our school year with the unit on Japanese culture.

Japan is my home country, and I want my students to learn about this beautiful country and have some cultural experiences.

During this unit, my students will discover the home and school lives in Japan. They will also learn some basic Japanese words, learn how to write their names in Japanese, taste some Japanese food and try Japanese art of origami.

Learning about another culture will open my students' eyes and mind and better prepare them to become a global citizen. I would appreciate your support.
