My Project

The students I teach are creative and unique individuals. They are strong and inspirational young readers and writers who like to show their learning through hands-on projects and artwork.

Engaging in project-based learning helps students express themselves and collaborate with others.

Students will use the tag board, pencils, and other supplies to create self-guided projects that connect with the novels and texts we read in class. I will also use these supplies to proudly display student work.

Your donation helps to provide materials to students for hands-on projects and create a space for students to display their work proudly.
