My Students

I teach high school students ages 13-18. This year I am teaching 3 periods of Freshman Seminar and 2 period of Government and Economics.

I have not taught any of these subjects before, but so far things are going great!

My students are kind and thoughtful, and generally happy to be back in school! They are also extremely hard working and most of them strive to do their best in class!

My Project

My goal is to help students learn while making it fun! I want students to be excited to come to class and ready to work!

Based on research, as well as personal experience, students learn best when writing things down and doing things with their hands.

Additionally, I love having students let their creativity out by drawing and coloring while working on class projects.

The supplies I am asking for - pencils, paper, markers - will help my students be creative, and will also help them succeed in class!
