Jeannie Matovski

5th Grade ELA Teacher

"I will let them be little, I will fill their hearts with laughter, I will help them to grow wings, I will nature their sense of wonder, I will inspire them to believe, and I will love them like there is no tomorrow." This is my promise to my students. I take my position in their lives very seriously, and am constantly striving to become a stronger, more inspirational leader for them to aspire. I have been teaching for 5 years for a small community and have been enjoying every minute of it! I absolutely LOVE what I do and am very thankful for the role that I have been blessed with. Presently, I teach fifth grade Language Arts at Whitmore Lake Elementary School. I have 78 unique students, and am routinely trying to motive and encourage them to become the best that they can be. Through laughter, respect and struggles, we have grown close in our relationships which has made for a rich learning experience.

“And little people know When little people fight We may look easy pickings but we've got some byte!” ~ from Les Miserables The tiny TroBot team brought home the silver medal from their first meet and gold from their second competition! We are currently ranked 5th in the entire state of Michigan (out of 482 teams), 50th in the USA (out of 2706 teams), and 57th in the WORLD (out of 3324 teams)! Our team consists of 6 freshman, 3 sophomores, 3 juniors, 1 senior and 8 mentors. We build the robot in 6 weeks adding up to over 1000 hours. The students learn design, build, programming, electrical, wood working, public speaking and many more things. We need to raise $10K in the next two weeks to get the team to Houston for the World Wide competition. Are you willing to help these amazing students make this dream come true?
