My Students

Worrying about food, money, transportation, and clothing are adult worries, yet many of the students at my school face these "grown-up" problems each day. In spite of the challenges they face, they constantly rise to the occasion and frequently blow me away with their abilities to learn.

My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds.

Some have, and some do not. It is my job to level their playing field so that all have a chance to be successful. Through hands-on, exciting, and active assessment, all students in my third grade, inner-city classroom prove themselves time and time again.

My Project

This is my first year teaching 3rd grade. The science curriculum is so much fun. One major unit of study for us is sound. I am a musician and understanding sound is a key component in becoming a great musician. I hope to teach my students the connection between sound and music through these Boomwhacker instruments. The Boomwhackers will help me creatively teach pitch and that pitch can change based on the length of objects. The CD accompaniments will help us to learn songs and perform for other classes in the school. I borrowed some of these from a teacher friend at another school, but it would be great to have the sets on hand to use as often as needed. Help me get these great musical learning tools for my classroom.

My kids are the best!

They deserve the best in every aspect of life, especially in their education. Help me to help them achieve their best by partnering with me to get them these hands-on learning tools. You will help this class and many students to come. Thanks in advance for your generous support!
