My Students

My energetic and enthusiastic first graders are always eager to explore new learning experiences! My classroom is made up of students with various levels of English development. Every day is a new day to obtain more English into their expanding vocabulary.

My students reside in an urban neighborhood.

There is an 89% poverty level at my school. 100% of the students are able to participate in the free lunch program. Many of our students are bused to and from school. Many of our students face various obstacles that can make learning a challenge. However, our school provides a safe and nurturing environment for students to soar!

My Project

The classroom rug is the central meeting area in my classroom where my first grade students come together as a community. This essential area is where students are able to discuss their understandings and wonderings, create our daily “Peace”circle to address our triumphs and challenges, and allows my students to have a safe place for focused learning.

Having a bright and beautiful classroom rug will allow current students and future students the opportunity to maximize their learning as a peacemaker, reader, mathematician, illustrator, author, and much more.

My students and I would be most grateful for your donation!
