My Project

Our monarchs are developing new mindsets that will embrace critical thinking, communication, creative thinking, citizenship, collaboration, and culture. They will have a guiding hand in defining their education while being problem-solvers in a flexible, educational setting. Building a community of global citizens is what we are excited about. Some of my students eat breakfast at 7:30 in the morning and work until lunch at 11:15, with dismissal not until 2:45. During those four hours, we are engaged in mathematics and English/language arts instruction. Try keeping a group of 7- and 8-year-olds focused when all they want to know is when is lunch. So I am requesting a variety of snack items (granola, fruit yogurt, popcorn, kettle chips, fruit strips, veggie puffs, snack mix, goldfish, pretzels, protein bars/shakes, veggie chips, sweet potato chips, cookies, and variety packs that my students will be able to have to begin this school year. I have tried my best to choose snacks that all students will enjoy during our brain breaks.

Hunger pains should not stop child from learning!

Our core values of academics, community, pride, and justice allow us to advocate for all within this urban neighborhood by extending compassion and partnering with families to nurture lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens through STEM/STEAM, performing arts, visual arts, athletics, coding, computer science (CS), financial literacy, and mental health/social-emotional learning (SEL). We receive federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast/lunch for every student and Title I services to economically disadvantaged individuals. Our inclusive class serves military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, special education students, and tech-savvy students.
