My Students

My students are 2nd and 3rd grade students from New York City in a Special Education class. They are hard working, happy students. My students come from low-income families and need every advantage they can get. They face many challenges outside of school, but they work hard in school to succeed.

They have the smarts and the motivation to be the best; let's give them the materials.

I want to ensure my students have all the necessary tools to compete in our challenging world.

My Project

My heart brakes for my students and all children. They were taken away from friends, family and school. They can not even go to the park to play and run.

Boredom is setting in and kids need their imagination and creativity stimulated.

Parents are unable to go to the store to buy supplies and activities. In school we had "Lego Monday" and sensory bins. Recreating this at home will help kids feel better.

I would love to give my kids a care package. I will deliver a package with a pack filled with construction paper, water colors, crayons, play dough, cookie cutters, stamps and stickers. Oh, and don't forget the slime!!
