My Students

My students are incredibly resilient and eager to learn! Last October, our school and lives were disrupted by Hurricane Michael. Not only did the students miss over a month of school, but most of their homes were damaged or unlivable. The devastation left by the hurricane was felt by every single person in our area. We have come a long way as a community in a year. Our school has been completely rebuilt with new electrical, floors, walls, and ceilings. As we start off this new school year, it is a reboot and a return to normalcy for all of us!

These amazing students have endured so much more than any child should have to.

I am so lucky to have these kids in my classroom and I look forward to exploring our world with them!

My Project

Every morning, we will be meeting as a class. This project will allow us to have a space for all of us to sit and build our classroom community. Our school is focused on educating our children academically as well as socially and emotionally.

Daily morning meetings allow our students to show how important relationships and collaboration are.

Our grade level will learn to express themselves while respectfully listening to others. We will discuss our lives as well as events that occur in our community. This is a lifelong skill that will benefit them for all aspects of their lives.
