My Students

I teach in an Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classroom. My students are a very diverse bunch that walk into the classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I make sure to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. Every day is an adventure with many hidden treasures to discover. I feel very fortunate to influence their lives, as they do mine.

My Project

Going back to school is something many of our students look forward to, but that has changed so much lately. With all the uncertainties still around us, I would like to make the new school year as smooth as possible.

Most of my incoming second graders haven't been in a school building or in an actual classroom with a teacher since the middle of kindergarten, which can be very scary for them!

I want to make coming back to in-person learning as pleasant and easy as possible.

With this project, I hope to have all the necessary supplies in the room from day one to make them feel right at home with everything that they need.
