My Project

This is my 20th year teaching at an amazing Title I school. I love my students and want to see them succeed in school and in life. This will be my third year teaching STEAM to all of our students K-5.

Because a school in our district closed, we have have added more students, and therefore I will need additional materials for all of our hands-on STEAM activities, as well as supplies to keep our students healthy and classroom clean.

This is why I need colored pencils, glue, tape, Play-Doh, disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissue. These are materials that we go through quickly because I work with all our our K-5 students.

I also like creating a calm, warm, and welcoming environment. This is why I would love a candle warming lamp. There are so many fall scents that I know my students would enjoy.

Finally need a stapler and staples to create packets for all of our different activities.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
