My Students

I am currently a kindergarten teacher. Many of the students are English Language Learners, students with disabilities, or brand new to the country. I work at a Title I school where 100% of the student population receives free or reduced-price lunch.

My Project

Our students love learning and reading. We use Accelerated Reader and Amplify and having these books will help our student population to have a variety of books to engage in and grow their love for learning!

Books are a big part of our school and many of our students cannot afford to buy their own books and need to borrow and return them.

We love reading and getting to explore new books everyday. Our school is one big family and we all share in helping our students succeed and grow!
