My Project

These tools, such as a thermal laminator, pencils, pencil "parking" holders, a sharpener with batteries, fidget/sensory toys, and hall passes, are essential for maintaining organization, enhancing focus, and fostering engagement during lessons.

My goal is to create an environment where every student can thrive academically, nurturing a supportive atmosphere that encourages learning and personal development.

My students are remarkable individuals, showcasing resilience, creativity, and a genuine passion for learning. They inspire me daily, motivating my dedication to providing them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed and grow in my classroom.

Grades 6-8
