My Students

Even though my students are from a high poverty area, they still come to school every day to get their education. I am trying to provide a fun and caring environment so the students can grow to their highest potential.

These students deserve any opportunity we can give them to make education fun and exciting!

My students are excited to learn and they deserve every opportunity to do so. We come from a Title I school so any extra love and support are greatly appreciated!

My Project

My students recently were gifted with having the privilege of a class pet. Now that the class pet is thriving and loved by all, it is time that we restock on some supplies that we need to keep him healthy. Once the tank was set up, we realized we needed some more supplies such as food, filters, plants, etc. not only to keep the fish healthy but happy!

My students need some more supplies to care for our pet!

Not only are my students in love with our fish, but they are also forming such a bond with it. They are constantly making sure the fish is fed, happy, and being taken care of. They are also growing in their sense of team work when it comes to taking care of it.
