My Students

My self contained classroom is made up of learners with disabilities in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade. Our students need visuals, interactive methods of teaching, and small group support and technology to be successful.

My students are creative, animated, and above all, love learning.

They show an eagerness and excitement for acquiring new skills and have grown in countless ways, both academically and socially. I've been lucky enough to see that students have gained confidence and are ready to take on new challenges and risks thanks to the support of our donors!

Our Title 1 New York City public school is in Queens. More than half of our students are classified as ENL learners and they receive services such as occupational therapy, speech therapy, and counseling.

My Project

This year, more than ever, it is essential to provide students with all the materials they need to be safe and successful.

As a teacher, I often depend on parents to provide many essential items to start the year, however, we all know that this year is like no other.

Many students will not be able to supply the essential items we depend on to keep our classroom well stocked and safe. It is crucial to create safe and inviting spaces and these supplies will help ensure that. I am asking for Kleenex tissues, basic classroom supplies such as chart paper, white erase markers, dry erase writing surfaces, and a doorbell used to support calm and consistent transition routines.

New York City Public School teachers are not receiving any money for classroom resources and supplies this coming school year. Now more than ever, we need additional resources to support our students. Please help me to help my students, by donating to this proposal. Your donations are truly appreciated. Thank you!
