My Students

My students are very thoughtful, creative, empathetic, and determined. Every day when my students enter our classroom; they bring smiles, new ideas, and fun ways to bring the classroom to life. This group of children is so special and hardworking. I am honored that I get the chance to provide them with an experience of learning new topics, whether it be academically, socially, or emotionally. My students are a large family of friends, a family of friends that are all destined for greatness.

My Project

I am so excited to meet my new third graders. Most of my upcoming students will be coming back to school for the first time in a year and a half. I want to make sure they have everything they need to feel successful and comfortable in their new classroom. Most of the students in my class will be reading below grade level. It is my mission to help my students feel successful in class and make their learning experience the best it can be. My students mean the world to me and I can not wait to meet them and see their potential.
