My Students

Did you like to sit in your desk all day in elementary school? My students strive for the type of learning opportunities that allow them to utilize every inch of our classroom. I strive to provide my students with a classroom environment that promotes success and growth.

My 2nd graders are energetic, happy, and eager to learn and grow each and every day.

They deserve the ultimate best in regards to their education. With adequate resources and materials, my students will be able to take part in high-quality and effective teaching and learning aligned with the new Common Core standards.

My Project

My students love to explore and utilize every inch of our classroom. With a teaching easel cart and giant Post-It easel pads, they will be able to take part in lessons and learning experiences that allow them to get out of their seats! Being able to implement lessons using the easel cart will allow my students to be a part of in-depth and interactive learning. The easel pads will be used to create Common Core aligned anchor charts to be displayed throughout our classroom. These anchor charts will be utilized as student resources and references and also be a huge part of our everyday lessons and classroom routines.

With the importance of the new Common Core standards, students have to be exposed to multiple methods of teaching and learning throughout their educational experience.

The funding of this project will have extreme positive effects on my students and increase academic success and growth. My students deserve success!
