My Students

Although I am biased, I have a super sweet class of 17 kindergartners. Our classroom theme this year is Minecraft. We also have a classroom motto where we are striving to be Courageous learners. We are a Title I school and I really want to offer them the best experiences possible. Many of the families at my school can be struggling to make ends meet and I really want to do all that I can for them. For many parents it is hard to afford an engaging preschool, so many students come to school without certain background knowledge which makes the start of their school year very difficult. Every year I interact with students of multiple different learning styles, so I have found it best to make the classroom as engaging as possible. I know my students would appreciate your support. Thank you!

My Project

This is my first time ever using DonorsChoose. I believe in providing the best experiences for children. I grew up with the fortunate opportunity to be homeschooled. I was able to access a wealth of resources and experiences and this drives my passion behind my teaching profession. I want to bring the best of the best for those who might not have the opportunity to experience what I have had the privilege of experiencing.

I have learned that even the smallest of things matter to the smallest of hearts and minds.

It does not take much to please a classroom full of kindergarteners, but it does help to have a wealth of resources in order to inspire them to learn to be at their fullest potential. I strive to give my all for my students and I personally make it my mission to make an impact in each of their lives, and I am asking for your help in making that possible. Kindergarten should feel like the most special and precious time and I hope that you can help support me in this process. Thank you to any who can donate even just a little. The little that you can give will be making a big difference in the lives of my students.

White boards have always been an excellent way to help students to learn and work on math, reading, or writing, but with whiteboard clipboards, I could then assign certain word lists, math problems, or writing sentences for students to practice with during their learning center time. It is also super helpful to have differentiated seating in the classroom in order to provide a comfortable learning environment for students to thrive which is why my students would benefit from a newer carpet for our reading nook.
