My Students

When you walk into my classroom, you will see creative and innovative students. My classroom motto is, "It's okay to think outside the box." Students are growing up in our ever-changing world and need an important chance to think freely in multiple and varied ways.

Thinking outside of the box is not something that every teacher enjoys, but the reality is that not all students fit inside the box.

My classroom is a safe haven for all students to learn. My students come from all walks of life- different cultures, backgrounds, and ethic groups. SOEC is the perfect place for all walks of life to come together. When we are all together we represent the best of what America has to offer!

My Project

Let's face it...students can't be productive citizens if they are working in a dirty environment.

If given two brand new vacuums, we would be able to clean our classrooms daily!

Thoughtco reveals, "It's important to keep and maintain a clean and tidy classroom environment for a number of reasons. A clean classroom helps to minimize the spread of germs. It also helps to avoid the offending smells that may linger throughout the day. When you have over 20 children all breathing the same air, that air is filled with bacteria and the smell of food from the children's snacks and lunch boxes." We want to do our best to make sure our students have the cleanest environment possible.
