My Students

Hello! I am a 6th-grade teacher at a small charter school in Middletown, Delaware. I have a wonderful group of students with a wide variety of learning styles, backgrounds, personalities, and interests. My students are creative, clever, and are my inspiration. 6th grade is a pivotal year for so many reasons. I always hope to instill a love for reading in my students during this year of growing. The transition to middle school becomes one of learned responsibility and independence. It is wonderful to see the transformation that takes place during their 6th grade school year.

My Project

My students work in groups and create many projects throughout the year. While they do an amazing job using just markers and paper, I would love for them to be able to really take their creativity to a new level. Having a Cricut in our classroom would allow my students to make titles for their project boards, create works of art to showcase a book they read, add to their green screen projects, and so much more. We would also be able to create bulletin boards and label everything- from materials to students' personal items. Also, to enhance our sense of community, we'd love to make team t-shirts. The possibilities are endless!
