My Students

We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.

My students are always ready to try something new and because of that, I want to be a better teacher every day.

I want to grow with them!

Our school includes over sixty percent free or reduced-price lunch recipients. Together our community, parents, and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.

Although this year may look a little different whether in person, online, or a mix of both, I know we'll build our classroom community and become the family we always are.

Next year I will be teaching four sections of STEM classes and many of these books will inspire students at four different grade levels.

My Project

In less than 2 months my students will leave for the summer. I am going to savor every moment with my students. We have so many more memories to create. There are classroom items that are almost gone, or are already gone and I would like to finish the year with everything we need.

This project includes our wish list that will help our classroom meet the needs of every unique student.

Every year we create a classroom story. These items help our story grow and blossom.

The lightbox will replace the one that I put a quote on each week. It no longer holds letters. The vinyl will replace vinyl we've used all year and will continue to add positive messages around our school. The rings will be used for special projects. We use timers multiple times throughout the day and we are in need of a few more. The lamination helps preserve some of our best projects! The buttons will be for our Teachers of the Day. I have had four students already earn this reward and can't wait for more students to reach this reward.

Help our classroom finish our classroom strong! Thank you for investing in my classroom and caring so much about all of us.
