My Students

The only way I can describe my students is amazing! Every day, they touch my heart a little more. Despite everything going on, and the difficulties that come with attending school during a pandemic, they are doing their best. My little stars bring me so much joy every day; they truly deserve the best, and that’s my goal: to give them the best.

My Project

As most know, teachers spend a lot of our own money on classroom supplies. Of course, we are given some supplies, but in order to have enough to make our students' learning great, we often spend much of our own time and money. We want to provide our students and ourselves with classroom materials that will enhance their learning experiences. We need basic materials such as tape, Sharpies, and laminating pouches. Having these supplies on hand allows us to create activities that engage our students and keep them excited. Having these materials on hand also keeps us teachers excited! Please help me give my students and me a bigger reason to enjoy coming to school!
