My Students

My students dive into learning everyday. They are excited to learn new things, and are encouraged by big and small successes. They are classroom and global citizens who are curious about the world. They are eager to apply all they know in every opportunity they get.

The beauty of our student body is it's diversity.

Students come from various cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, and types of learners. Because of it's diversity, students are not only learning from their teachers but also from their peers.

My Project

This project includes basic school supplies such as composition notebooks for Reading, Writing, and Word Study. It also includes plastic pencil case boxes so that my students can use to organize their pencils, crayons, pencil erasers and scissors. Lastly, I included printing paper and large post it papers.

These basic school supplies will prepare my First Graders for the first day of school!

The first day of school is one of the most exciting days for children. I want to welcome my students into the school year with the right supplies and materials, so that they feel valued and supported.
