My Students

My favorite parts of teaching are the “Ah ha!” moments where a child’s face lights up as he/she finally understands a difficult concept or accomplishes something they once considered impossible. Every day is a grand learning adventure as my students and I explore our state curriculum using methods that bring science to life. We search for answers together, laugh together, create together, and, most of all, learn together.

My students are energetic, fun, and diverse.

Our school qualifies as a Title 1 school (which means that we are a lower income population) with about 39% of our students being in a minority groups. Unfortunately, this means that many of my students struggle with academics because they have other life concerns on their minds. However, it also means that these “Ah ha!” moments are even powerful and often more meaningful as I know that the things they are learning can have a great impact on improving their lives. It’s a joy to watch their enthusiasm, excitement, and growth each day, month, and year.

My Project

The scissors I've chosen for this project should be durable so that they will last a long time in my classroom as well as meet our need for larger scissors. Currently, my classroom has tiny elementary school scissors that I struggle to use.

My 9th grade students need adult sized scissors that will better fit their hands to use as they complete a variety of classroom tasks.

These tasks may be as simple as cutting string for a lab or more complex such as making models to represent the movement of tectonic plates. These scissors are sure to get plenty of quality use!
