My Students

My students are an amazing group of kindergartens who are overjoyed to learn. By the end of the year, I want them to not only excel academically, but also to be more well rounded people.

My students are all minorities who come from areas of high poverty in our nation's capital.

I teach at a Title I school where there is a large academic focus. Each day my students come in eager to learn. They are all like little sponges who want every last drop of new learning. These kids overcome adversity each day and come out on top!

My Project

I am requesting a social skills curriculum. Our school does a great job teaching academics, but social skill are more of a struggle. This is a researched program that helps to build the whole child. I am a firm believer that without social skills, it is hard for kids to succeed. This program will be used daily as a part of our morning meeting to ensure kids are becoming well rounded individuals.

This is something that has a direct and great impact on students.

We spend so much of our days teaching academics to children, that it is easy to forget that social skills are equally important. Giving students the tools to succeed socially combined with high academics sets students up to have a brilliant future.
