My Students

I have 24 amazing fourth grade students! Of those 24, three receive support services, two receive speech services, and all 24 strive to learn and grow each day.

My students come into our classroom with a smile on their face each day and tell me about their morning.

They are excited to share with me new things in their lives. They are kind, spirited, and are accepting of others. I am so proud to be their teacher!

These kids truly care for one another and love any time they get to think outside the box!

My Project

My fourth grade students work so hard every single day, I want to give them time to be able to "let their genius out"! I would like to open my classroom early on Friday mornings, before the bell rings, and allow students to have intentional game time. The purpose is to dive into some hands-on activities and also do some art (which we never have time for!). Not to mention, it will build positive relationships with each other. This "Power Hour" will allow students to choose which activity they want to participate in, whether it is in strategy games, building with Legos or other engineering games, and art stations (painting and drawing). The materials and supplies I requested are games and art supplies to fulfill this wish for the students in my classroom. They deserve some time to have some fun at school. (Just don't tell them all the life skills they will be learning while they do it!)
