My Students

I have the ultimate pleasure of working with smart, enthusiastic and hardworking first graders at a NYC public school. Our school services a beautifully diverse group of children who come to school ready to try new things in order to grow both personally and academically.

We believe that our students learn best when the class adapts according to the needs of all its students.

I am looking forward to a school year filled with problem solving, learning and growth. I have no doubt that our group of young and insightful students will achieve wonderful things this year.

My Project

I am requesting reading folders, STEM Science stations and magna tiles. STEM provides students with an opportunity to be creative, flexible, and problem solvers. These wonderfully developed tools are geared toward first graders to explore all things STEM and literacy. Stations and reading folders allow students to grow independence and confidence in the classroom.

By providing these thoughtfully designed and open-ended engineering and literacy activities, my students will be challenged to think creatively, inventively, and imaginatively.

I will use these stations during morning work time, afternoon exploration time and as a choice for students to use during their free time. I can't wait to see what they discover and create!
