My Project

I love my students. They are so special to me. Teaching is my superpower. I teach a variety of students, including gifted students as well as students with disabilities. They have many differences amongst them which I accommodate on a daily basis.

One thing that my students all have in common is a need for school supplies.

I teach at a Title One school. Many students get free or reduced lunch and do not have the money for school supplies. On day one, we need pencils, whiteboard markers, storage for pencils, and Sharpies to label our supplies. I am asking for these items to help provide for students who need school supplies.
