My Students

I have an amazing class of twenty active and ambitious first graders who come from very diverse backgrounds. My students are always eager to learn and love coming to school. I feel we have a tight bond and we are like family!

We are always learning to be kind and compassionate learners!

We work hard and get a lot of things accomplished during our day! They are very active, so it helps to include lots of movement throughout the day!

My Project

Books are amazing! We can learn and teach so much through different books. These books I ordered all teach amazing life lessons. I want my students to be kind adults who have a passion to uplift others. Books can inspire kids. It instills amazing lessons for them in these books. Reading is something we use our whole lives and in every subject we learn. I want my students to live reading and love books! I hope they will love these books like I do and they will learn many amazing life lessons through reading them!
