My Students

I'm quite lucky to teach at a brand new school of BRAVE Explorers. My students come from diverse and international backgrounds with varied life experiences, but they all come with unlimited potential. I strive to make our classroom a place where progress is celebrated and learning is safe. I bring the curriculum to life with hands-on, collaborative, and innovative learning experiences.

My students enjoy collaborating and learning with each other as they discover their potential to be world changers.

We go beyond curriculum in our classroom to connect our learning to real world problems and experiences. We make learning matter!

My Project

Fostering a love for reading is one of the most important jobs a teacher has. When students read good literature the whole world opens up for them - to imagine, to learn, to expand their world view, to empathize, to dream. The possibilities are endless in the world of great literature. Our classroom library needs a major face lift. We need books that students are going to LOVE reading!

Your donations will fund adventures through the rain forest, quests for justice, journeys back in time, and more - all through the power of a book!

Help us provide varied literature (in both reading level and topics of interest) and storage to our classroom full of explorers!
