My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing assignments at home because of lack of supplies and resources.

Our school is nestled in the heart of Brooklyn.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The variety of graphic novels will be placed in the front of the classroom and used as a gathering place during book shopping and independent reading. These books will be used by the students, so that they may continue to enjoy reading.

My students come from all different backgrounds and cultures but one thing they can agree on is there love of graphic novels.

They go so far as trying to recreate them with their own story plots for others to read.
