My Students

Students in my school have grown up in an all-inclusive environment. They benefit from a diverse community that supports and integrates students with minor to severe disabilities in the general classroom. Here, students learn to cherish differences and support one another. Students are paired both heterogeneously, so that students learn to work with different abilities, as well as homogeneously, receiving differentiated learning with leveled groups.

The students in my classroom are brilliant, and in first grade go from decoding words to reading chapter books!

They learn through integrated subjects and project-based learning. They excel at technology, benefiting from multiple different differentiated websites. To them, learning is both fun and accessible. They are cultivating a love of learning while recognizing that everyone has different strengths. They benefit from an education that focuses on kindness and mindfulness. My students are my life, and I want to prepare them as much as I can to begin their education path.

My Project

First graders love to play and build. I want to meet my students where they are and use what they already love to teach them STEM! A makerspace will give them a place to design, engineer, and build in the classroom.

We will use this space during our math rotation and give the students freedom to answer word problems and construct buildings and structures to solve those problems!

Students will find real-world solutions to everyday math and science problems. This space is meant to make math fun again with the added bonus that my students will be developing engineer skills and mastering NGSS standards!
