My Students

Students at my school come together from many different backgrounds and abilities to create a beautiful community that we call home. We have both self-contained Montessori classes and self-contained gifted classrooms, as well as our mainstream classrooms, so we are able to meet a large variety of learning styles and student needs.

My students are curious about how the world works and I try to foster that curiosity with project-based curriculum and hands-on learning experiences.

My Project

My calculators will help the students accurately compute results. Students can create graphs and extrapolate information. Students will find purpose in objectives they are learning because they will be able to use the tools in a fun, productive manner.

Calculators will give the students confidence that they are being productive in their learning by applying their lessons in real-life examples.

By using the calculators, the students will be able to do their assignments with less frustration while at the same time build an appreciation of the application of the skills.
