My Students

My classroom is the second home for over 160 amazing individuals! My scholars enjoy having SETS, Technology, and Math within the week. During those times it is a privilege to interact with these 160 different personalities. They are able to let their true self come out each and every day! I'm using this platform to help me with providing them with a comfortable teaching environment.

My Project

My children all come from different challenging circumstances including being homeless, displacement, and abuse.

While being exposed to those challenges and having special needs, it sometimes gets difficult for them to cope.

These students rely on me to make our SETS, Technology, and Math class comforting, safe, and an inviting place where they can continue to learn and thrive. Providing them with tools such as books, pens, pencils, dry erase markers, and much more can help create a more comfortable space, to create conversations within the classroom of race, ethnicity, and community.

We are also requesting these materials for us to use in our writing center.

Writing will be brought to life in their pieces, allowing them to recreate and bring life to their imagination. This will help them build their sense of comfort and enhance vocabulary. I need the shredder to discard all student's documentation securely.
