My Students

My students and I spent this spring in distance learning and we are starting the coming year in distance learning as well. My students and I are separated by sickness, uncertainty, and space; at the same time, we are united by our love, our history together, and our dedication to learning. In many ways distance learning has been a struggle for my students; they are dealing with confined learning spaces, uncertain living environments, and inequitable access to resources.

We are living through history.

My students are incredible people. They come with tenacity, creativity, and a wide variety of experiences and gifts. We work hard every day as scholars, artists, critical thinkers, and friends.

My Project

My students and I participated in distance learning this past spring (like much of the country). It was difficult; we missed each other and our routines and the enrichment I am able to provide in our school setting. We are currently in distance learning again this fall. Having engaging science materials and read aloud books will make a huge difference in our overall experience.

I'm excited to reach for the sky with my students in this coming year, even while they are learning from the distance.

In order to do that we all need to have the same supplies and some inspiring books to read together. I think that this would be a great chance for my students and me to do something awesome together even if we are apart. My students and I will need our own air-powered rockets (I mean, what's more, awesome than that). Thank you for inspiring us to reach for the sky and for giving us a chance to do that together.
