My Students

“The important thing is to create.” - Pablo Picasso

I have a classroom of students who love to explore, create, and discover through hands-on activities.

My students love learning about the outside world and enjoy coming up with projects that illustrate what they read about.

I have a bright, curious, and enthusiastic group of third graders who are always on the lookout for new ways to incorporate their learning into art and projects. My students are fascinated by the outside world and enjoy studying nature, animals, geography, and history.

We live on a beautiful island with many natural resources that I'd like to make come alive in the classroom. Through project-based learning, students become invested in their learning and want to share their discoveries with each other and the rest of the community.

My Project

My students need a new wooden cubby organizer shelf to keep their completed work and important papers that need to go home, as well as a visual schedule, literature teaching posters, and classroom decoration materials to make their classroom feel fresh and organized!

Organization is key to classroom success!

By use of a wooden cubby organizer, students will be able to quickly put away graded work, and have all their materials in place to take home and share their learning with their families.

Students also need items like whiteboard Expo markers and erasers to work on spelling and math strategies. The use of whiteboards eliminates our usage of copying paper and materials, and allows students to try multiple strategies and not be afraid to take chances with their learning.
