Hi! I am a third grade teacher. Our school has recently become a Title I school due to the changing socioeconomic factors in our community. I teach with creativity, engagement, enthusiasm, and dedication because I want all of my students to feel successful. I teach because I strive to make my class a place where my students WANT to be, not place where they HAVE to be. My students are also learning and improving their 21st Century Skills. On a daily basis my students are working on communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity. They enjoy using their Chromebooks to research new ideas and share their learning.
