My Students

In a 21st Century classroom, students are engaged, energetic, and compassionate about their future. Those are certainly characteristics that describe my students. They want to learn more so they can become responsible, respectful, and reliable citizens in an ever-changing society.

My students are a direct representation of me and hopefully I can pass along my passion for learning to them.

My students are diverse in not only their personal life, but in their learning styles. They embrace the challenges presented by me in the classroom and insist on rising to meet those challenges and exceeding my expectations. My students have great potential in the classroom that will hopefully carry with them throughout their life.

My Project

Let's face it...textbooks can be boring and they do not engage students into learning.

I already have students who want to learn, but they need a variety of resources.

The books "King George, What Was His Problem?" and "Two Miserable Presidents: Everything the Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War" are highly engaging and explain the American Revolution and the Civil War like no other books that I have ever read. These books provide clear understanding, factual information, and relevant content, all while adding a touch of humor in explaining these two history changing events. These books will supplement our curriculum while engaging my students and reminding them that books are NOT always boring.
