My Students

My students bring such joy to my life and I am thankful to be their teacher. We seriously have some of the best students in our small town, elementary school. I know that every school and every teacher says that, but I know just how amazing our students are.

My students are always ready to try something new.

Because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day. I want to grow with them!

We are over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch, but together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need.

I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

My Project

I would like to attend the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference in Chicago this summer. It would be so exciting to attend this conference and learn about the different technology advancements available that would enhance my teaching and the learning of my students.

Technology is every changing in my classroom.

I enjoy staying on top of all the advances, and the ISTE conference would help me do that!

Technology can be a great tool in our classroom and I know that my students will live with so much more technology than I grew up with. This conference would allow me to understand new technology coming and know how to best help my students learn new technology. It would also allow me to network with teachers and learn new instructional strategies using technology.

I love learning new things to inspire my students. This conference would teach me so much and would be so great for our classroom.
