My Project

I am a kindergarten teacher and serve English language learners. I am most of my students' very first teacher. As we all know, being a teacher is very costly. Teachers are accountable to buying supplies, including electronics, books, and furniture.

My goal is to give ESL scholars essential literacy book and support in performing better academically using headphones, providing books in Literacy for ELA, and social studies.

I want to ensure that my students are provided with quality Literacy, and Social Studies Books. While also improving our literacy centers with chairs and headphones for daily classroom instruction.

What makes our scholars special is that I will be their first teacher and I will be teaching them essential skills for life. Kindergarten is a special place, and we want to ensure that we are providing quality resources, and technology, and materials to support learning. Our goal is to support and enhance the learning environment one student at a time.
