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 projects will make a difference with my students' learning. When students fully engage in their learning with hands-on objects, concepts become clearer, because the learning is relevant to their lives. Manipulatives also make learning fun!

Mathematics is more inspiring to the mind with motivating manipulatives.

The lapboards, a math bingo library, fractions, decimals and percents circles, a word problem game, strategy puzzles, a game show game, and other materials will inspire the students to interact with mathematics in a meaningful mode. The math games and manipulatives will help the students in understanding concepts. These materials will allow for every student to fully participate in mathematics. Since we are opening a new elementary school, our students do not yet have materials to enhance their learning experience. With your funding, you will be inspiring our students to truly love mathematics in a fun, engaging, and meaningful way.
