My Students

My students walk into my classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them. Our school strives to find the leader in all students. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure or motivation. The students in my class strive for excellence. They all inherently care about one another and continually make an effort to improve in all aspects.

I am passionate and dedicated to finding exciting and engaging ways to help our little learners be the best that the best that they can be.

My Project

As a fairly new teacher, I am accumulating books to coincide with beginning of the year routines and procedures. These books are suggested by district approved curriculum and will enhance learning. These books support social and emotional learning as well as academics. Each books has been specifically chosen to match a skill that will be introduced withing the first three weeks of school. Books are an effective approach to intrigue students before instruction. These stories will shape and mold student's learning while engaging and creating imagination. Your donation would go towards improving student achievement and ease their first few day jitters.
