My Project

My students enthusiastically come to school curious and excited to learn. Every child in my classroom comes to school with unique life challenges, educational and social needs.

As their teacher, I aim to differentiate the instruction to inspire every student to achieve at the highest level possible.

My goal is to differentiate the instruction to inspire every student to achieve at the highest level possible. You can help facilitate that! Your donation will give my students the tools they need to learn these valuable lessons that will stick with them as they grow.

Help replenish our basic classroom supplies like colored pencils and markers so our students can continue learning to their full potential! These everyday supplies are necessary for student learning. The students at our school work very hard to be successful. Unfortunately, they do not always have the tools they need for school. Learning tools, like the sight word flashcards will help students produce work they can be proud to finish. The supplies will be used by our whole class! Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom.
