My Students

My students show up to school each day excited to be back in the classroom. They are active participants, kind to one another, and bring a variety of backgrounds to our learning space. It is such a joy seeing them engage with our learning and to watch their eyes light up with a smile behind their mask.

Our school community is a strong one with 75% of students qualifying for free lunch.

The staff and families are dedicated to providing the best educational opportunities for our students. They are so deserving of our support!

My Project

With these materials, my students will be able to get their wiggles out with wobbles stools and have the opportunity to engage in STEM activities and games such as Magna tiles and LEGO building bricks during indoor recess or free-choice time.

With the pandemic, many students are striving to work in groups, as teams, and to practice the social and emotional skills that are so vital to their development.

Games, team-building, and puzzles will help them develop skills of strategizing, concentration, leadership, social skills, and critical thinking. There is such a big opportunity for them to learn how to work together!
