My Students

My students come from all different backgrounds and attend our school located in East Nashville. Our school has a diverse group of students who are all eager to learn! Our day to day consists of fostering independence, creativity, and critical thinking skills to prepare students for the real world.

I want to be able to give all my students the best learning experience possible!

My students get to participate in many authentic, hands-on tasks, including project-based learning. Students get to work collaboratively to create projects that support change in their community and connect learning to the real world. This supports the whole child approach of teaching, where the focus is not only on academics but incorporates the ​teaching of the arts, and focuses on social and emotional needs. I am incredibly thankful to be a part of such an inclusive, progressive school and I cannot wait for the upcoming school year!

My Project

As a first-year teacher, I want to be able to give my students everything they need to succeed. I have spent hours shopping making sure everything on my list will benefit them!

I want my students to understand the value of community, compassion, courage, curiosity, and craftsmanship.

I chose specific books to read aloud to the class that conveys these values.

I want my students to have space in the classroom where they can go when they need a break. This space will be filled with encouraging books, fidgets, and art supplies to help students gather themselves before returning to the ​whole group. I am very excited for the school year! Help me make this classroom an engaging, supportive environment for all students!
