My Students

As a teacher I have taught grades second through fifth. This upcoming school year, I will be teaching fifth grade math and science. Beginning in August, my 50 scholars and I will enter a different school as a result of Hurricane Michael.

Most of my students live below the state line of poverty.

My school is a melting pot of ethnicities and a safe place for the majority of all students. Some of these students only come to school for a hot meal and to escape a rough home environment.

My Project

Our school was severely damaged by Hurricane Michael and as a result, my elementary school was a total loss. Our district has rearranged the schools in our town so we will have new homes beginning the 2019-2020 school year. My 5th grade class will be moving to an old high school science lab with built in lab tables!

It is only fitting that I work to give my new students a fun and flexible learning environment after the devastation that occurred.

By allowing students to choose an area that works best for them, I will be establishing a sense of responsibility for their learning. The wobble stools and balancing balls are popular choices among students of all ages and will be a great addition to our new space.
