My Project

The skills books, math and vocabulary games, markers, laminating pouches, practice workbooks and tests, and other items will enhance the Academic Allstars in my classroom.

Each day we strive to be Hot Cheese!

Just think about it...usually everything you want with cheese on it, it's got to be hot!

We are working hard to increase our vocabulary and background knowledge in efforts to strengthen our ability to understand informational text. We are also striving hard to bridge the math deficit that so many students are facing.

We work hard everyday to be a better version of ourselves. I love that my students have the desire to be great! These things will keep us Hot Cheese!
