My Students

Our school has about 240 students who study from 3K to fifth grade. Most of them are African American and Hispanic children. Most of them come from low-income families.

They are nice and respectful when they interact with other people.

They smile at people when they meet people in the morning. Some of them are struggling in math and English, but they work very hard to overcome the challenges. It is my pleasure to be their teacher in the school this year.

My Project

All students will come to school to continue their learning. Many students in my classes are special-needed or ESL. They have a hard time staying focus on their writing. After teaching them for years, I learn that they love Disney, Marvel, and Toy Story characters. My students need 720 pieces of Disney, Marvel, and Toy Story pencils for writing motivation. They will use the pencils to write their stories, journals, and essays. They will write their opinions after watching the Disney, Marvel, and Toy Story movies. Writing is very important for elementary school students. Please help my students to get the 720 pieces of pencils to continue their English learning.
