My Students

My students are amazing mathematicians, adventurous and focused, they are the future writers and artists of the world! My students are working hard to become the scientists and engineers of tomorrow by learning today! We are working hard in the classroom to grow reading skills! My students are high poverty students who don't let adversity hold them back from their goals and dreams. We have military family students, and we live in a rural Oregon community. We are a diverse classroom community, and we keep learning and growing in an engaging learning environment.

The students in my Kindergarten classroom are a creative, hard-working, curious, thoughtful, and adventurous group of children.

Always eager to learn the moment they enter the classroom as they look to the daily agenda to see what the day will be and then...we are off and learning with days filled with exploration, invention, reading, creative expression, practice, and thoughtfulness. I am looking to make their learning experience even more engaging by adding learning tools for the classroom through donorschoose.org donations.

My Project

A GeoSafari Jr. Talking Globe and beautiful, picturesque National Geographic book will create an engaging and delightful learning experience in my Kindergarten classroom. Help my students explore and find out who their global neighbors are! These geography learning tools will be used at the Writer's Workshop to inspire new writing topics, and it will be used as a free-choice center during Fabulous Fun Friday! Geography is an important part of learning about the world around us and these tools will help my Kindergarten students begin to gain an awareness and knowledge of the world beyond their hometown! With these tools, we will find Waldo...and so much more!
