My Students

My students are excited to come to school every day, especially after they have had to quarantine! They love to read, and are constantly looking for more books that interest them. The students in my class this year are very interested in non-fiction, I can't wait to provide them with more books to feed their curiosity.

My students are very accepting of everyone, regardless of their culture.

We have been learning about Martin Luther King and talking about why diversity is so important. Watching them unite and work together to learn is an honor. I continue to strive to be worthy to teach such an amazing group of students, and can't wait to provide them with a larger library!

My Project

My students love to move! These movers and shakers have bright minds, and need an outlet for their energy.

Wiggle Wobble Chairs will provide them the opportunity to move while not disrupting other students by being out of their seats.

These books will open their eyes to topics they may have never heard of, and they will be inspired by the colorful posters and decor in the classroom. I'm excited to have even more books on diversity to include in our classroom library.

Thanks for helping me provide an atmosphere where my students will want to learn!
