My Students

My students are full of tenacity and eager to learn. My classroom is family. I love each and everyone of them as if they were my own.

Over 90% of my students come from lower income house holds, yet they still come each day to give 100% to their academics.

My students are from diverse ethnicity and cultural backgrounds.

My Project

Systems are a go! We all wanted to be an astronaut or intergalactic traveler at some point in our lives. As my students prepare to be just that from our classroom we are needing help to prepare for our out of this world travels.

The Motorized Solar System, Moon Globe, and 4-D Solar System will prepare my students for their out of this world explorations!

We will be able to use these models to have hands on discoveries all across our galaxy and more! They will be able to use each physical model to reach their full potential of being a space traveler from the classroom!
