My Project

I love that I have the ability to help my students make a difference. I spend 35 hours a week with them and I understand what materials and resources I can use to help them accomplish their goals. My students are very special to me.

Each student have different abilities and learning styles.

My lessons are differentiated so that I can reach each of them because every student matter in my classroom.

I teach Social Emotional Learning, Maths, ELA, Science and Social Studies. The materials I chose would help me maneuver as I adapt and grow as a first-year teacher throughout each subject area. As part of our school’s curriculum this year, we are challenged to cover topics like the Human Body, Cultural Diversity, Germs and Bacteria, Patterns, Careers (just to name a few). I am requesting a Take-Apart Human Body Model, Junior Scientists Microscope Set, Grab Play Social-Emotional Games - Complete Set and more!

I have purchased quite a lot of items on my own and I would love to build my inventory so I can have the tools and feel equipped to teach the lessons in a fun, adaptive yet learning environment. I am certainly grateful and appreciate any help I receive as I continue to make a difference in their lives.
