My Students

This is my fourth year teaching first grade after 12 years teaching 4th and 5th grade. I love how first graders are inquisitive and enthusiastic learners! Each day they come to school prepared to give 110%! Our classroom learning community values all diversity and celebrates each others' uniqueness.

Every child knows he/she is special and can explore their future career path in my classroom - the next great scientist, writer, engineer, or future entrepreneur's start might be right here in my classroom!

They are the future, so I hope to set them up for life long success!

My Project

Recently, I had the privileged of attending a National Science Teachers Association conference. I went searching for quality science and STEM learning for my first graders and I found it! My science supervisor generously purchased the lesson book I found: Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons, K-2: Using Children's Books in Inspire STEM Learning. I am so excited to put these lessons into practice. I'm just missing one thing: all the literature that goes with them! So, I found all the amazing multi-cultural, STEM literature that the lessons reference and am looking for our wonderful Donors Choose community to consider helping us get them.

What better way to inspire our young learners then through literature and STEM investigations?

These lessons are set up to meet students at their level of understanding the world around them, gives them quality stories to anchor their learning to, and then provides them with meaningful classroom and at home extensions so that they have the chance to be a scientist or engineer!
