My Students

I teach at a diverse urban public school in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. The students at my school are goofy, kind, curious, and eager to learn new things. Our school and neighborhood are extremely diverse both economically and racially.

My first grade students are not only exciting to be around, but they are also some of the most caring, hardworking, and curious first graders who bring their open-mindedness into the classroom each and every day!

As their teacher, I strive every day to motivate my students to achieve their highest potential through reading, writing, math, science, music, and exploration!

My Project

This project will help welcome my first grade students into their new classroom!

This project will provide students with new choice time materials to draw and create sweet paper masks, provide each student with a fidget toy as they adjust to their new learning environment (and allow them to decorate it--thanks Sharpies) and make them feel excited about their new classroom with boarders and instant photos for us to remember exciting moments and see ourselves in our classroom!

Thank you so much for supporting public school classrooms like ours--we are so grateful for your generosity!
