My Students

"Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure science."-Edwin Hubble

Exciting news: our Title I Charter School will be adding three additional grades next year!

We have inclusive settings in our school, where general education students and students with disabilities are all fully integrated. Our students will be exploring math and science through STEM activities in our new grades. We are enthusiastic about giving our students a rich and meaningful experience through the activities in our curriculum.

My Project

Donations to this project will improve my students' learning and improve their lives for the better.

With these Math literature books added to their classroom library, they will be able to connect math to their everyday lives, and become inspired mathematicians!

When learning goes across the disciplines, the concepts become more meaningful and concrete. When my students read these books during their reading time, they will connect STEM with language and reading skills.

Donations to this project will help our new elementary school students have the materials they need to begin their journey of life-long learning and a love of STEM.
