My Students

Each of my students comes with a unique set of baggage that may include academic deficiencies, social challenges, economic disadvantages, language acquisition, and emotional struggles, but they do not let that define who they are. Every day they amaze me with their determination and perseverance. They are eager to learn and ready to tackle the world.

Our classroom culture is built around embracing these unique experiences.

We learn acceptance through character building, collaboration, learning to trust others, and compassion as part of our daily work.

My Project

Parental support is the number one indicator of a child's success in school. Many of our nonnative speakers simply do not have the resources needed to support their children at home.

Being able to provide parents with leveled readers that are written in both Spanish and English is a tremendous gift.

The simple gift of a bilingual book gives them the ability to actually participate in reading with their child. They can read alongside their child, support them with words that they may not know, and also help sharpen their own English speaking skills in the process. It's a win-win for everyone.
