My Students

My students are amazing mathematicians, adventurous and focused, they are the future writers and artists of the world! My students are working hard to become the scientists and engineers of tomorrow by learning today! We are working hard in the classroom to grow reading skills! My students are high poverty students who don't let adversity hold them back from their goals and dreams. We have military family students, and we live in a rural Oregon community. We are a diverse classroom community, and we keep learning and growing in an engaging learning environment.

The students in my Kindergarten classroom are a creative, hard-working, curious, thoughtful, and adventurous group of children.

Always eager to learn the moment they enter the classroom as they look to the daily agenda to see what the day will be and then...we are off and learning with days filled with exploration, invention, reading, creative expression, practice, and thoughtfulness. I am looking to make their learning experience even more engaging by adding learning tools for the classroom through DonorsChoose.org donations.

My Project

Durable clipboards, another beginning microscope for our science center, and colorful books about bugs, birds, and the outside world are just what we need to take our learning outside! We will be able to use these tools to create meaningful and engaging writing activities. Clipboards mean my students will be able to complete writing activities outside in the beautiful spring weather. Another microscope means more opportunities to look up close at the treasures we gather from outside of our classroom around our school. Books provide inspiration for us to question and think about what we will look for out and around our school. These tools will help generate exciting ideas and engaging assignments.
