My Students

I have an incredible group of 30 students in our Philadelphia school. My students' families struggle. It is important for them to have a warm and inviting atmosphere to learn in.

We work hard to remember that we can all learn and that each of us is capable of achieving anything we are willing to work hard for.

I strive to teach to my whole student, and not just to the educational goals set before them.

Our class is a small family of willing learners who deserve to have the resources and motivational tools to achieve great things.

My Project

After over a year of virtual learning our students need to be reminded how great they are. I will be creating a superhero themed classroom to motive my students to work their hardest and to succeed.

These resources will help me in creating a classroom and learning atmosphere that will give my students the resources to help them fly!

I will be able to help them build their vocabulary, understand new mathematical concepts, and become great readers and writers. I can't wait to see their success and what their futures hold.
