My Students

My students attend a public school in Queens, New York. Many are new immigrants. They come from many different countries including China, Korea, Greece, Pakistan, India, Egypt and Columbia. The class is a true melting pot and we love to share about our different cultures.

My students do not have access to books, supplies and manipulatives needed to learn, due to both monetary issues and the impact of Covid-19 on their families.

Many live in small apartments with siblings, parents, grandparents and other relatives. They are trying to do the best they can with what they have. They want to participate and learn, but due to coronavirus, students in class cannot share materials and children that are remote do not have access to materials at home.

I wish that you could experience my students' thirst for learning firsthand. They are so excited as they progress in all areas, but are especially proud and excited as they learn to become strong readers.

My Project

The excitement at the beginning of first grade is always palpable. This year, many families cannot afford to supply the basic supplies needed for school because of hardships brought on by Covid-19. Many of my students will come to school anxious and worried because their families cannot afford to buy basic school supplies.

Every student deserves basic school supplies in order to learn and grow and they should be able to access supplies despite family circumstances.

My students need pens to learn to write and to practice their writing skills. They need markers for drawing and art.Tissues are needed to avoid the spread of germs and illness. Snacks are needed so that students aren't hungry and can focus on learning.
