I'm a caring 5th grade teacher who’s passionate about making connections with my students and teaching them tools to tackle every day life struggles.

I loved the poetry unit with CKLA but put my own twist to it… made them think about self and created amazing poems of self worth! This makes me so happy and had parents in joyful tears reading these during conferences! ❤️❤️ #d123 #d123cov
