My Students

I am currently teaching 27 very special first graders at an inner city school, in a high poverty area. My students come to school everyday, despite any hardships at home ready to learn and grow! I admire their ability to work through an entire day with smiles on their faces!

As we are learning to read my students need current, real world informational texts to make real world connections in reading.

My students become fully engaged when new and exciting materials are given to them to explore and learn with. With your help we can continue supporting my students and give them everything they need to flourish and find a love for reading and writing.

My Project

This past school year I was able to supply each student a Scholastic news magazine every week for the whole year because of the generous people at Donors Choose. I wish to provide the upcoming group the same amazing resources.

Scholastic news magazines align with the science and social studies Massachusetts frameworks allowing my students to learn concrete material while having fun!

I am so excited to see their faces when a brand new magazine is given to them to explore. I know that they will especially love the engaging academic-based questions at the end of each magazine. They sure do love a challenge!
