My students need various curriculum tools such as monologue books, ten-minute play books, and the Card Deck for Creative Inspiration in order to best explore the art of theatre, encourage creativity, and build confidence.

My Students
As a teacher in a rural school district with a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, I recognize my students are faced with challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am always looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences in my classroom.
My students are the lifeblood of my classroom, and they deserve the best educational opportunities, regardless of their home life.
My students are the leaders of tomorrow. They are creative, clever, and spontaneous. They like to move, they love to be in front of others, and they love positive attention. They constantly remind me of their abilities and their ambition. For that, I am thankful.
My Project
Theatre inspires. As a theatre teacher, I have seen tremendous gains and changes in middle school students' confidence levels and communication abilities over the years. Our best learning comes through out imaginative learning, using creativity to build confidence.
These books will allow my students the chance to have access to professional materials to better prepare them for the life ahead of them through imagination, creativity, and confidence.
I base my lessons and teaching around the four Cs: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking. Materials and books such as “101 Monologues for Middle School Actors,” “Thrift Costuming,” “33 Short Comedy Plays for Teens,” and “Vocal Warmups and Exercises” will allow us to go beyond the classroom and take our talent and abilities to a new level. We love a good challenge, and we feel this will allow us to step outside our box to better fulfill the four Cs and promote performing arts education in our classroom, school, and community.
