My Students

What I love the most about my super scholars are how talented and kind they are. They treat each other and the teachers with respect and dignity. They are always willing to help. Being around them give me a sense of purpose.

As a teacher, I strive to find the best in all students.

Every child has the capabilities, talents, and strengths to be great. Sometimes, all it takes is exposure, motivation, and the ability to focus. However, it can be difficult for my scholars to become their best selves especially during a pandemic where they have to learn remotely.

We are a Title I school with families who want the best for their children but are unable to provide due to their circumstances. Many of the families, unfortunately, fall below the poverty line and are currently placed in Temporary Housing. However, the school community works diligently and closely with the parents to provide the best education possible.

My students are bright and eager to learn. I am proud to say that I am part of this community!

My Project

Having art materials in the classroom would motive my scholars to work hard and persevere. Because of the pandemic, many of our parents are having challenges providing their scholars with the supplies they need in school. No child should feel less than because they do not have the basic materials. With the crayons, markers, pencils, scissors, and glue, all students will have the opportunity to engage in the art of creating and publishing.

The scholars will use the materials to create maps and graphs, to illustrate their writing, and to complete projects.

The art materials will help to beautify their work.
