My Students

My students are among the kindest and most dedicated students in NYC. They care for each other and accept each other for who they are. They value education and strive to improve their skills every day.

My students love challenges!

My students will be engaged in many ELA/SS/Science projects this year. The students love to do cross-curriculum projects. They excel when faced with challenges. They exceed my high standards. There are many proud teacher moments.

My students deserve the best education I can provide for them. They are our future!

My Project

These books will allow my students the opportunity to read about Hispanic countries, culture, biographies, folktales and stories. They will be instrumental in building respect and acceptance of one another. Through the use of these books, the students will enjoy their beautiful stories, increase reading comprehension, while creating a more caring and socially acceptable world for our future generation. The students will read these books in school and at home. They will share the knowledge they receive with others. These books will lay the foundation for a more living and culturally acceptable world.
