My Students

This is a very trying and stressful time during the pandemic. Keeping the children safe at school and feeling welcome is what I strive to do every day. We have many students at our school who attend both in-person and have virtual learning. Many students have had to switch at a moment's notice from in-person to virtual. Before winter break, our entire county went to "RED," we all had to teach and learn virtually. With the rising numbers of Covid in TN, we have to prepare each day to be ready to go "Red" again at any time. While we are in the classroom, I want to not only teach my student the standards and objectives but also learn about diversity in the world. We need to teach our students, understanding, empathy, and diversity. We need to learn about different cultures in our world and to love each other for who we are!

My Project

My students have a variety of learning styles. Many of my students learn best when it is a hands on project or kinesthetic learning. When we study subjects such as Force and Motion, Gravity, Push and Pull and Measuring, we can learn from our textbooks.

We can also take it one step further by learning these Science standards by using hands on toys as learning tools!

Help my class learn their science and math skills in a fun, hands on classroom room transformation. We will design our classroom into a Hot Wheels racing track to further extend our studies about force, motion, pushes, pulls, gravity and measuring! Thank you for supporting our classroom and those kids that love to have fun while learning!
