My Project

My students are creative learners and are excited about learning. They absolutely love hands-on activities, engaging projects, and challenges that allow them to think outside the box. They come to school each day ready to learn new things and take brave chances in order to grow both professionally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration.

Many students in my class come in saying they don't have the resources they need in school or at home.

Having a library will help them with these resources.

Our school is in the heart of Queens! Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. By having books in school and being able to take them home they will all be involved in our academic curriculum.
