My Students

My students are very thoughtful, creative, empathetic, and determined. Every day when my students enter our classroom; they bring smiles, new ideas, and fun ways to bring the classroom to life. They are adjusting to being fully together again.

This group of children is so special and hardworking.

I am honored that I get the chance to provide them with an experience of learning new topics, whether it be academically, socially, or emotionally. My students are a large family of friends, a family of friends that are all destined for greatness.

My Project

These books will help my students become stronger readers. They have been working very hard to find their identity as readers. I want to be able to provide them with everything they possibly need to become successful readers. These books will allow my students to explore different genres of reading and open their minds to a new world of reading.

My students mean the world to me and seeing them reading makes me so happy.

Especially, seeing them happy holding a book makes my day. They deserve so much and I would be grateful for your donations!
