My Students

Our school has some of the most inspiring, interesting, and intelligent students I have ever had the opportunity to be around! They are very involved and active. They work hard in the classroom and love to be at school!

I have looped with my class for the past two school years.

After two successful school years, I am excited to see where I can take my students this year. We are a family. I love to see my students' faces in the morning. I am grateful to be able to teach my students to be intrinsically motivated. I want them to set their own goals and work hard to achieve them.

My Project

I have had the privilege of looping with my class for the past 3 years. It has been wonderful and they have benefited from this teaching model tremendously. One of the only downfalls of this teaching model is that the students have pretty much read every book in our classroom library. These readers will provide my very bright students with some much needed fresh reading materials. My class loves to read and explore new topics and ideas. I browsed many different leveled reading selections and this one caught my eye. I love the diverse selection of reading material this collection offers my students. I am excited to fill our shelves!
