My Students

I'm quite lucky to teach at a school of brave explorers. My students come from diverse and international backgrounds with varied life experiences, but they all come with unlimited potential. I strive to make our classroom a place where progress is celebrated and learning is safe. I bring the curriculum to life with hands-on, collaborative, and innovative learning experiences.

My students enjoy collaborating and learning with each other as they discover their potential to be world changers.

We go beyond curriculum in our classroom to connect our learning to real world problems and experiences. We make learning matter!

My Project

This year my students are enthralled with the concept of coding and robotics. We know that in the world they are growing up in, a deep understanding of these concepts will take them far in their career goals and creative endeavors. We are hoping to provide students with Dash robots and accompanying challenge materials in order to continue to provide more options to deepen their learning.

The world of technology is changing rapidly and the more we can offer our students to explore, the more we can inspire them to be the future inventors, creators, and innovators our world will need!

Thank you for partnering with me to provide inspirational and educational resources for my students.
