My Students

Our classroom of 5th and 6th graders are a true community. We strive to learn through inquiry, integrate all areas of art, work with multi-age peers, and experience academic and social success in a variety of ways. I am lucky enough to teach my students for two years, allowing me to give them the best learning experience possible through looping.

We share ownership of our class and our school!

My students incorporate community-based learning into projects and across the curriculum. Growing up in Hawaii allows for such wonderful opportunities! Because we live on an island student’s experiences are so rich but sometimes limited. DonorsChoose.org is a platform essential to building resources and knowledge for our class.

My Project

We will be returning to in-class learning this 2021-2022 school year! I take care in providing materials for my students so they can enjoy their surroundings and their learning without having to worry too much about the materials they need.

Headphones, gift cards toward curriculum, class furniture, art supplies, and unique hands-on items for specialized interests are included in this order.

These materials give students a sense of ownership and pride in what is provided for them, that way we can start the year off with confidence and joy! I hope to use these materials to enhance all lessons.
