My Students

My students are amazing! They surprise me each and every day and keep me learning more for them. We seriously have some of the best students in our small- town elementary school.

My students are always ready to try something new, because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.

I want to grow with them!

Our school is over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch, but together our community, parents and staff work to get us everything we need.

I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

Over five years ago my classroom was blessed with a 3D printer from wonderful donors on DonorsChoose.org. They love when I fire up the 3D printer and print the designs that they have chosen, but I would much rather them experience 3D printing for themselves.

My students are amazing designers.

They are so creative. I know that these 3Doodlers would allow them to create even more during MakerSpace. It would also allow them to bring their story characters to life. These pens would be so wonderful during our geometry unit in math. What better way to learn about perimeter, geometric shapes, and more, then actually printing them! AND, they will be able to create 3D art projects too!

My philosophy on teaching is that my students should enjoy learning and coming to school each day. It is because of DonorsChoose.org that I am able to give these experiences to my students and give them the education that they deserve and need.
