My Students

My students are kind, creative, diverse, and so excited to learn! In my classroom, we value social action and getting things done. We're also super funny and tell a lot of dad jokes. We're cool.

My students want to do something, not just believe in something.

My students feel that it is important to listen to the voice inside of them, which almost always leads to the pursuit of action.

My Project

This is my first year teaching 5th grade. Help me supplement my reading, writing, and social studies lessons by donating to this project! National Geographic Kids is an awesome publication that students love. I've also identified new books to teach my students next year. I'm asking for various book guides to enhance the discussion of these texts.

With these materials, I will be able to create robust reading and writing lessons covering various perspectives and voices in American history, as well as allow me to expose my students to new literature.
