My Students

My students are an energetic and curious bunch of kiddos! They come to school every day with smiles on their faces, eager to learn, despite some of the tough situations they come from. They are thrilled to learn and grow, every day, no matter what challenges they face in their home lives!

Our classroom is a community where the students can feel excited, included, safe, and successful!

Access to hands-on learning materials and books is necessary for their success and engagement in their learning. They are so appreciative of the opportunities that they have to grow as a community of learners together in our classroom!

My Project

While my primary goal as a teacher is to impart knowledge and make sure students are successful in reading, math, writing, social studies, and science, I also want to teach them life skills they can use throughout their education career.

As a student progresses through middle school, high school, and college, the ability to organize materials and assignments is crucial.

Therefore, I will teach students how to use stackable drawers and table caddies to keep in-class and homework assignments, as well as the various materials such as our kindles, needed to complete these tasks organized and neat. These skills will give students the tools to become responsible for their materials.

Additionally, having student materials on hand allows valuable time to be saved in transitions so that learning is maximized.
