My Students

Do you remember how you felt leading up to the first day of school? Perhaps you were filled with excitement - You spent way too long in front of the mirror trying to figure out the perfect outfit. You practiced how you would say your name in front of your peers. Or perhaps You were filled with nervous jitters - Maybe this was the first time you would be fully away from home. But overall, you looked forward to a year where you would grow academically, emotionally, and individually. As a first year teacher, I too am filled with the same sorts of emotions and expectations.

I am making this DonorsChoose because I want to be able to create a classroom where I can properly support my students' goals as academics and individuals.

Because it is a STEM school, my students demonstrate an immense appreciation and talent in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. I will be teaching at a Title-1 School, so your donations go towards making sure every student is fully equipped to focus on learning every day.

My Project

Before pursuing a career in teaching, I worked in the art field as a Photographer. This experience impacts my teaching philosophy: I believe that creative expression is an important and often overlooked area of a child’s development. Just like when making art, no student should feel afraid to share their thoughts or make a mistake. As a teacher, my goal is to create an environment where students can embrace what makes them unique, discover new talents, and channel their creativity into academic and personal breakthroughs.

I believe a classroom should reflect the diversity of its students.

With your charitable support, I will be able to create a safe place that supports each and every one of my students. Students will have access to multi-disciplinary ways to respond to work. The class library books will have books the culture and diversity of our world. Resources will be used so students can respond to prompts in a variety of mediums using UDL, or "Universal Design for Learning" principals. Most importantly, I will make sure no students are left behind due to simply not having enough. Every student will have access to materials, supplies, food, clothes, etc that they need. No matter what.
