My Project

Many of my students come from low economic background and are not able to bring school supplies. My hope is to not make this obvious so I supply many of the school supplies myself, tissues and other communal items are rarely supplied by many families.

I love to have the best classroom sets of pens, markers, pencils, and sharpeners so that every students wants to borrow from the teacher.

This helps students that don't have things not feel self conscious. We use these items to create art for every subject because it is my belief that when a child is creating they are learning.
