My Students

I am an ESOL teacher located at two different schools. My students come from nine different countries and bring many different experiences and cultures into my classroom. Their ages range from PreK - 8th grade, and they are at all different levels of English language development. They are full of passion and excitement to learn!

I strive to make my classroom a welcoming environment with an exciting curriculum for my students.

There are few English language learners at my schools, which can often make them feel like they are not included and act as a barrier to assimilating into their communities. I try to create an inclusive and open environment in my classroom to support these students and motivate them to work hard at acquiring essential English language skills.

My Project

Our Garden Club continues to grow! Approximately 30 students every Tuesday come to learn about agriculture, cultivate their own plants, and beautify our school through gardening.

Garden Club is gearing up for some cool experiments!

As the weather grows colder in Maryland, we are beginning to move our garden club indoors. We will be learning about the water cycle and how we can use it to water our garden, growing radishes in clear cups to learn about root systems, and growing our own take-home herb gardens! The weather can't stop our learning. None of these experiments would be possible without your help!
