My students are amazing. I teach students in Grades PreK - 5th Grade. My classes are a diverse group; most of them are from families with a low socioeconomic status. We are a public school with very high mobility rates; many students are living in apartments or shared housing. These amazing students deserve a bright and welcoming classroom full of equipment and technology to help them learn.
