My Students

My Kindergarten scholars greet me with the brightest smiles every single morning, full of energy and ready to learn. Being in a low-income, high poverty school, our scholars face challenges both in and out of the classroom. However, no matter what they are facing, all of my scholars show up so they can start to lay the foundation for a bright future.

I teach at a Title I school in Pennsylvania where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Our school serves scholars K-8, and our goal is to provide rigorous academics to prepare scholars to be leaders in the future. Despite the challenges our scholars may face in their home life, they all come to school ready to learn because they want to be successful.

My Project

I am requesting a carpet for my classroom. My classroom is completely tile, and having a carpet would foster whole group learning in the classroom. Each day, we meet as a whole group for all subjects. It is important to get out of our seats and move to different parts of the classroom.

This project will allow my children to have a nice, comfortable place to meet as a whole group.

We will have our morning meeting, learn social skills, and create a community that encourages and supports one another on this rug. This rug will help my scholars learn both academic and life lessons in our community.
