My Students

I teach 4th grade at a Title I school that is located in South Louisiana. I have wonderful students in my class who love to learn. My school is very dynamic and all of our fourth grade teachers work together to make one-on-one and tactile learning possible for our students.

Fourth grade is a high-stakes testing year.

The children prepare all year for the LEAP test and they must pass it to move on to 5th grade. I strive to find new classroom technology to make learning fun for my students. We are desperately in need of a wireless printer for my students. They love using their computers and need a printer to print their work.

My Project

My students are in desperate need of school supplies. Our area has been hit hard by the moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Our area is dependent on the oil and gas industry for jobs and tax revenue. School supplies are sorely needed by my students and they appreciate and take care of everything they are given. It means so much to them when they come to school and can concentrate on learning and not have anxiety over where they will get pencils and paper. I have requested pencils, notebooks, crayons, markers, and other school supplies to get the children through the school year.

My students have dreams of college and understand that an education is their way to success.

I strive to build relationships with their parents so they know that I will mentor their children throughout their lives, not just in 4th grade. I love my students and it is important to me that they succeed not only in 4th grade, but in life. In the last 4 years I have spent over $4000 of my own money buying uniforms, shoes, eyeglasses, and other things that my students need.
