My Students

My second grade innovators are about to embark on a stellar year of exploring, learning, and elevating to a new level. They are creative and passionate about learning new things.

The scholars that I teach are champions who are enthusiastic and ready to make their marks on the world with their passionate love of learning.

Watch out world, here they come! They are true troopers who rose and will continue to rise to the occasion.

My Project

The materials for this project will help my scholars both at home and in class.

It is so critical for them to learn about the world around them.

Scholastic News opens the door for great discussions , student engagement, and enhance their non-fiction reading.

Scholastic News is an awesome tool for scholars to keep up-to-date with worldwide events.

The printer, ink, and paper will be used for resources that are created for the ELA & Math Centers. I am constantly changing activities in the centers based on the scholars’ needs and likes in reading and math. Students are more engaged when they are given the opportunity to choose the activities they want to do while they're working in the centers.
