My Students

Students at my school come together from many different backgrounds and abilities to create a beautiful community that we call home. We have both self-contained Montessori classes and self-contained gifted classrooms, as well as our mainstream classrooms, so we can meet a large variety of learning styles and student needs.

My students are curious about how the world works, and I try to foster that curiosity with a project-based curriculum and hands-on learning experiences.

Our maker space is where we can come together and build while exploring concepts in science, the arts, engineering, and more.

My Project

3rd grade gifted is such a class with many students who want to learn many things. These things purchased will help the students explore learning and make them excited. I would incorporate these in an everyday setting to help students. The gifted mind is consistently exploring and creating. The books will help the students have a thinking mind and always something to do. The paint sticks will let students create. Creating is something that I always encourage because you can get so many outcomes. The mind of a student is amazing.
