The Rainforest Room

I am about to enter into my 9th!! year of teaching! This will be my fifth year teaching in Georgia to a wonderfully diverse group of second graders including ESOL students from countries all over the world including India, Finland, China, Columbia, and so many more amazing places! I also teach split grade level math classes meaning half of my students are placed a full semester ahead. I started out in gifted math and science, then taught in the wonderful world of first grade, and spent two years back in the departmentalized second grade math and science. I absolutely love learning from my students and am so happy to have found my calling!

I value each and every child's unique qualities and differences and work hard to reach each and every student each and every day. My classroom is student led and filled with discovery. We admire and appreciate our cultures and differences. We celebrate each other and work super hard to learn from our behaviors and mistakes, myself included.

I was on a team that won a Bill and Melinda Gates Grant for funding to start our own summer reading program.
