My Students

I am a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district and my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the daily challenges, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with a learning experience that is creative and meaningful .

My students are highly motivated, active, and love hands-on learning.

They like to move and dance, they love to read, and LOVE lots of positive attention. The majority of them are on a free/reduced lunch based on their socioeconomic status. From the moment they walk in I'm like their "school mom" and make sure that they are well-taken care of from having a snack to our school providing weekend food so they are not going hungry during that time. From the minute they walk in the door, I focus on providing them with a cohesive learning environment where they feel welcomed and loved. I may not be able to control on what happens at home, but I can control what happens during the school day. By doing this in a fun, entertaining, and positive way, I hope that I can instill a love of learning for a lifetime.

My Project

As a Title I. school, our classroom is missing that extra piece for my students to connect to the world. Computers are the missing puzzle piece. By having the Chromebooks in the classroom, my students will be able to connect and improve their reading and math skills.

Some of my students don't even have a chance to use one at home, so by having them in the classroom, they can be 21st century learners.

Our school has an online program call Study Island, that focuses on PA Common Core Standards, and if my classroom was able to obtain these Chromebooks, they will be able to participate and improve their testing skills and prepare them for next year testing.

Please help my classroom become 21st century learners!
