My Students

Remember when you dressed up in your mom's and dad's clothing? Well, with these needed resources you will help our Dramatic Play Center become a Mom and Pop Shop.

My students are just an amazing group of students with a desire to learn all they can.

Our class motto is "We are in it to win it and failure is not an option". 100% of my students receive free or reduced lunch. Our area still struggles to rebuild our community after three major disasters (an oil spill and 2 hurricanes).

My Project

These materials will not only ignite my students imaginations they will build self-esteem and develop socialization skills. They will learn through play acting and role play the art of communication. My students will also learn the importance of sharing and how to resolve minor conflicts by practicing conflict resolution.

My students all are growing up in what many are calling "The Murder Capitol of America" I believe that our efforts will result in developing young minds to have respect for the lives and property of others.

Hopefully they will grow to be well rounded, constructive citizens.
