My Students

Our school has some of the most inspiring, interesting, and intelligent students I have ever had the opportunity to be around! They are very involved and active. They work hard in the classroom and love to be at school!

I traveled from 3rd to 4th grade with my students this year.

After a successful year last year, I am excited to see where I can take them this year. We are a family. I love to see my students' faces in the morning. I want to ensure that they all feel at home, even in this make-shift room.

My Project

About a year ago, we received our very own class pencil sharpener from our supporters at DonorsChoose.org. Before we received our sharpener, we would have to go door to door looking for a pencil sharpener to borrow so we could have pencils for the day. We were excited to receive a sharpener for our classroom.

We were so upset to arrive to school last week to find our pencil sharpener gone!

We went door to door asking if maybe someone had borrowed it and just forgot to return it. It is no where to be found! We have been having to go door to door again borrowing other classroom sharpeners. This is definitely affecting our time management and classroom routine.
