My Students

My students go to school in Southeast Michigan, just outside of Detroit. I am blessed with a very kind group of students in grades kindergarten through 5th grade.

My students are inquisitive, self-motivated, and ready to learn.

81% of the students in our building are English Language Learners, many of them in the country for less than one year. More than 90% of my students are economically disadvantaged and qualify for free or reduced price lunch.

My students are learning to love math and science! These subjects are difficult for many of them because they lack the academic language needed. However, through hands-on activities, we are bringing new life to these subjects.

My Project

As a science enrichment teacher who does not have a dedicated space to teach, my students would greatly benefit from these basic classroom supplies. My students would be able to have access to scissors, markers and crayons to create and problem solve throughout the year.

This year, my focus has been more STEM related activities.

My students need to have basics—paper, glue, and pencils to continue to be the problem solving engineers I know they are.

They will be able to use these basics to show me their understanding as they explore, collaborate and engage with their peers as they work through the many science concepts we cover over the year.
