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.

Curious, enthusiastic, and motivated; my students come to class reading at different levels but are eager to immerse themselves in any kind of challenges.

Our school is nestled in the heart of Hanamaulu, which is on the island of Kauai. We are also a Title I school with a diversity of learners.

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 and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and grateful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

Returning to school during a pandemic can be a scary and challenging time! With new rules and procedures being created, safety of all students, families and staff is a top priority. One way to keep everyone safe from germs is to not share school supplies and materials. This means that students should not be allowed to borrow books from our classroom library.

With these Scholastic News and Science Spin magazines my students will be able to read a variety of interesting topics.

This will allow them to read independently at their own grade level while expanding their knowledge.
