My Students

Kindergarten is tough! My students are constantly on the go. They always strive to work together and help each other learn. I am so impressed with their willingness to learn. My students try their best with whatever we give them. I would like to be able to expose them to different types of learning to suit their needs. Each child wants to achieve their goals, it's my job to support them in meeting these goals. They are ready and waiting to soar to success! My school is a Title I school, with students of low-income families. We want to help all of my students achieve success.

My Project

Each one of my students love to create. We go through so many different materials in order to facilitate their project based learning. We have run out of paper colors, crayons are lost and we need laminating pouches to save our projects forever. With your help my students will be able to create with new supplies and clean up after themselves . . . we like to keep it clean in our room. With new materials to work with we can outline and produce our ideas and get them down on paper for all to see. Together we can make it happen for them! Each child will benefit from having new materials to work with in order to create and grow as learners. Each student will be able to reach their writing and reading goals with these new basic materials. They will be able to write and create their pieces and share with their friends.
