"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full or wonder and excitement." -Rachel Carson Thank you for supporting our classroom! My wish is to have a classroom where students feel at home and are able to make new discoveries each day. My classroom is a place where students come to share, play, and explore while all while learning. I have the pleasure of teaching the sweetest group of first graders you can imagine. My classroom is extremely diverse. Many of my students are English Language Learners. Approximately 60% of our student population receive free and reduced lunches. Each day I strive to ensure that I am meeting the needs of each and every one of my students.
