We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.
My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.
I want to grow with them!
Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.
I am teaching four sections of STEM classes at four different grade levels in our middle school. My classes are STEM, Robotics, Digital Applications, and Pre-engineering design. I am loving all the unique learning that is happening.
My Project
My pre-engineering class has already started coding, working with robots, building 3D designs, creating vinyl projects, and working with many other digital tools.
Design is a universal language where students can be as creative as they would like.
Currently we have one 3D printer in our classroom. We are working at getting two more for the classroom. Along with those two 3D printers I would like to get more computer mice, mouse pads, tools, and accessories to make 3D printing that much easier. I would also like to get a place for our two new 3D printers to be housed. The wheel cart will make 3D printing more student friendly. The filament will be used in the new 3D printers.
3D printing is exciting and will encourage many students to think about their future careers in STEM! Thank you for investing in my classroom and my students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
