My Students

I teach 7th-grade special education in a self-contained setting. This will be my second year with this group of phenomenal learners! My students are from a high poverty area that was hit hard during Superstorm​ Sandy. My students could benefit greatly from new supplies and tangible learning items. Two years ago, our school was slated to be closed by the NYC DOE but we were able to fight back and the students were given another chance to shine! As a teacher, I am always willing to give anything to my students that will benefit them.

In order to bring the learning environment to the next level, my students need some basic tools to show everyone how amazing they are!

These students come to school with very little and I want to be able to provide a better learning environment for them. Supplying students with basic supplies is vital to my classroom! Other supplies and resources will ensure that they are able to learn in a highly engaging environment.

My Project

Help me provide my lovely 7th graders with some snacks and nourishment to get through the day! Snacks will encourage them to stay focused and will keep energy levels high in the classroom! They also come in wanting breakfast and I want them to eat something with nourishment rather than the sugar-filled snacks they typically come to school with to eat!

To keep all students focused I hope to provide them with snacks and nourishment.

This will help them to put their best selves forward! I want ​to have a full tummy in order to have a full mind!
