My Students

I am a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district. My students are faced with several challenges, both in and out of the classroom.

My students are an amazing group of third graders who are eager to learn and explore.

They are living a growth-mindset philosophy, embracing the new learning experiences and challenges and are ready to stretch and grow their brain muscle. Children are like sponges, ready to soak up everything. It is my pleasure and duty to help shape their precious minds to love learning and be successful.

My Project

Legos are an educational tool that keep on giving. As our new curriculum is encouraging students to write stories and think creatively my students need continued practice.

Students are going to create a landscape using their Legos, upload a picture to Class Dojo, and create an original story to go along with their creation.

This weekly check-out rotation will have students buzzing with excitement about doing their homework. At the same time, allowing students to practice their creative writing skills and story development. I can't wait to see in action their use of linking words, adjective, adverbs, and so much more.

Help bring our writing to life!
