My Students

Watch minds grow! Watch hearts become full of a love for learning! Watch students' face shine with excitement! That is what teaching is about!

I want to make learning fun, rigorous, creative, and worldly for all of my students.

I teach in a Title I school where 80% of the student population receives free or reduced lunches. Most of my students speak other languages and are learning English in the classroom. Most families do not have the means to provide school supplies. We need your help to enhance our learning experiences!

My Project

My students love exploring and learning through hands-on experiences!

My students are becoming young scientists.

They would love to experience learning about animals and insects through a hands-on way. Students can explore pictures of animals and fossils with magnifying glasses. Also, my students can experience STEM building and engineer skills through designing stations with different blocks. We would use these materials in learning stations throughout the school year.

Science is a big part of our world and our future jobs need leadership skills, creativity, discovery, cooperation, and students that can think out-of-the box. I want to build those skills in all my students to help them become successful, global citizens!
