My Students

What a wonderful bunch of students, who try so hard to accomplish all they can accomplish with what they have.

100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Many are faced with challenges.

At our school we have a diverse group of students, including many military students. Some of the students have been faced with many challenges. We help our students focus when they come to school by providing them with the necessary tools that they need to succeed. All students deserve an education and we as teachers have to make sure we provide and show up for them every day.

Having a place where they can enjoy learning and love education is where I come in. When the students enter my classroom, I want them to be eager to learn. It is my duty to help my students feel as safe and at home every time they enter the classroom.

My Project

We are still learning to adjust to things that are out of the ordinary this school year. We have to get focused and continue to push forward. The basic materials such has the cleaning supplies, stapler, hole puncher and copy paper will help make our school year easier by helping us focus on learning.

Having the basic classroom materials in our classroom is essential because it will give us a sense of what our normal school day used to look like.

The copy paper and border will help me give my students better opportunities to learn new skills and help create visual aids for my students around the classroom. The Lysol and cleaning wipes will help protect my students and myself from unwanted germs.

Our classroom equals engaging learning, inviting, safe and full of love. Having these basic materials in our classroom will give us just that.
