My Students

I teach an energetic and enthusiastic group of scholars. My scholars love exploring and learning new things. I was so amazed when they arrived on the first day and even though some did not know each other they where still engaging each other in the first day activities. I've noticed how my scholars light up when they do a hands on group project which allows them to feel as though they are leading the assignment.

My Kindergarten, Girl Scouts #44069 and Aftercare classes are SHINING STARS.

They continue to amaze me each and everyday. I do not want that drive in them to ever died, I want it to continue well after they leave my class at the end of the school year.

My rockets are shooting pass the moon and as their teacher I am going to make sure they get there..

My Project

I must keep my scholars minds fresh and open. I plan to do that through art and the latest technology. This will give them the opportunity to express themselves, build their imagination and self-esteem. It will let them know that different is okay and gives them the courage to take risks. I find it that adding a little hands on in any assignment makes them begin to think differently.

I see a light bulb go off in my scholars when I begin to ask about their artwork or their experience.

I enjoy bringing different opportunities to the classroom. Being flexible and engaging makes being a teacher so wonderful and I would not change it for the world.
