My Students

There are students in our city and surrounding counties who have everything they need. There are students on the other end of the spectrum that are lacking basic supplies. My school, much like our city, is a diverse and creative community from all walks of life.

I am proud to be a librarian at a school with students who can learn from one another’s cultural and socio-economic differences and family make-up.

My school embraces and welcomes all families, making it a true neighborhood school. Our parents give of themselves, our teachers and administration are good people, and our students are our passion.

My Project

The students in my library are anxious to learn and try new and innovative ways to do things. All grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th grade would benefit from using an iPad.

Many apps are available for making movies about stories, creating book trailers, making slideshows using photos, and learning games in all subjects.

Students will also be able to use the iPads for researching various topics.

All of these activities will make learning more innovative, creative, and fun. The students will be more engaged in their learning and will collaborate with others to complete tasks.
