My Students

My students are creative, motivated, and get a thrill out of learning! They mostly enjoy hands-on, active, engaging projects that allow them to make their thoughts become 3D! They come to school each day prepared and ready to learn new skills. I am truly inspired by each and every one of them.

I currently work with multiple grade-level students who all have unique needs.

They are loving, energetic, and fun to work with and they come ready to work every day.

My Project

At this time I am working on my students being able to write more in class. This will help my students by making sure they are able to generate their ideas in color. Even though my students are limited I want to make sure that each one of my students has all the proper materials to learn to the best of their abilities. These items will assist my students with being able to do more 3D work so that they are able to see their assignments in a different view. The food coloring is for their science needs (i.e. using shaving cream with water, students will be able to see the food coloring drip into the water which represents the water cycle's precipitation.)
