My Students

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be moving to a Fourth Grade position next year at DHES. DHES is a culturally diverse and vibrant community that reflects the changes in the neighborhood over the past few years. The school is tight-knit, with a deep commitment to community. After a tumultuous and unpredictable year, I am so looking forward to providing a safe, nurturing space where students feel seen, held, and taken care of.

I'm so excited and deeply humbled by the opportunity to work with such a special group of students in this critical moment.

But, as is common in many public schools, and particularly in LAUSD, much of the funding and resources must come from teachers, families, and community members. Since many of my students come from low-income or middle class households, I am hoping you will look over the project I've put together and donate what you can. My dream is to provide my students with grade-level appropriate chapter books that reflect their diverse backgrounds, instill the belief that they can change the world, and a help them develop a lifelong love of learning.

My Project

For the past four years, I have built a classroom library geared toward K-1st grade learners. As I transition to an upper elementary classroom, I anticipate a much broader range of literacy ability, and I am committed to meeting students where they are at.

My students need books that are engaging, age-appropriate, and serve as mirrors so that they feel seen and reflected in the classroom.

I also want to provide students with some choice in my classroom library. This requires a decently sized selection of books for a classroom of 30+ students. I will be teaching the Readers Workshop model, in which students are asked to follow their interests in selecting book titles, and then practice skills while reading books that they genuinely love.
