My Project

As an educator I am teaching students to engage their minds and their hearts. I want them to fall in love with learning and to do so, I believe a welcoming classroom is key.

As an ICT teacher in Brownsville, I want to make sure that I nurture my students by providing them with a safe and welcoming environment.

I want to ensure that each day my students walk into my classroom they feel welcome, comfortable and at ease.

Below I provided a list of materials, things like colored paper, bulletin board supplies, and Expo markers, that I need in order to sustain a welcoming environment. Please feel free to donate to my lovely students!
