My Students

My students are excited to come to school every day, especially since they were out of the classroom for over 5 months due to Covid-19. They love to read, and are constantly looking for more books that interest them. I look forward to being able to provide a wider variety of books since this is my first year teaching 3rd grade!

My students are very accepting of everyone, regardless of their culture.

We have been learning about Martin Luther King and talking about why diversity is so important, even though our classroom is not incredibly diverse. Watching them unite and work together to learn is an honor. I continue to strive to be worthy to teach such an amazing group of students, and can't wait to provide them with a larger library!

My Project

My students are quick learners, so I like to have lots of books for them to read when they have some spare time. They thrive on reading and love having new books in the classroom.

Who was Anne Frank?

What is the Solar System? How can I help my students learn more about the world around them? By providing them with a larger library where they can explore and become more aware of those who have accomplished great things in recent and more distant history, as well as what those things are!
