My Students

As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.

My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous.

They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hoping to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

My students need school supplies such as pencils and art supplies in our classroom to start the 2019-2020 successfully. The card stock is going to be used for centers to help differentiate learning. Students will use the gel pens in their writing centers. The markers and construction paper will be used for art projects. All of the supplies requested will be used in our classroom to help all my students reach their potential. Thank you ahead of time for your support in helping ease the financial burden for families. Your generosity and kindness in helping to find my project is greatly appreciated.
