My Students

I love that my students are inspirations to me. My students deserve the best teacher and the best education. Looking at my students, I am motivated to give them the best. I have the pleasure of teaching them for an entire year, adding more knowledge to what they already have obtained in their former grades. My students are special because they are little human beings with eager minds and ready to learn all that I have to teach them. Despite the current state of the world, I have students who love school and love to interact. My students are future engineers, doctors, lawyers, political leaders, teachers, preachers, social workers, pilots, dentist, physical therapist, guidance counselors, and the list is endless.

My Project

It is important that students have a chance to read books about people who look just like them, talk like them, and have the same beliefs and values. As there are also valuable lessons to read about people from different backgrounds. The students in my class are eager to learn about people and places outside of their community. Having a culturally diverse library, the students will be able to read books that celebrate our differences such as language, culture, race, gender and special needs. With your help we can bring these amazing books into my classroom.
