My Students

Elementary school is such an exciting time where students enter with such a variety of interests, skills, and goals. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, some are mastering higher level skills, and still others are trying to build upon their individual interests such as acting, singing, dancing, sewing, gardening, painting, etc.

In this class, we celebrate the joy we get from learning, the character building and friendship we get from building community, and the fulfillment we get from celebrating our individuality.

As a teacher, these are three of my most important goals and I believe them to be building blocks for life.

This year, I will be working with several grades. My main grade will be kindergarten, but I will also be teaching Enrichment classes to kindergarten and several other grades throughout the year. I am always thrilled to be teaching, but I am very excited that this year the students are also being given the chance to pursue their passions and interests. It will however be challenging to support the needs of the students in the classroom and in the Enrichment program. We are thankful for any, and all, support we receive.

My Project

Everyone loves learning something fun, new, and exciting. Kids love when schools engage them academically, socially and personally. This is especially so when they are allowed to have an active voice in choosing what they would like to learn, especially if it also offers them a chance to learn a new skill.

Our Sewing Enrichment program engages students in all ways!

They are working as a community, learning to be entrepreneurs, learning a new skill, and engaged in something fun that interests them, and something that could also potentially open new doors for them.

In this Enrichment program, students will be sewing, selling their items, and giving back to their schools and community. The school has become more than academics, and I have never seen more excited energy than I witnessed in just our first session.
