My Project

I'm an City Teaching Alliance Fellow and 4th grade ELAR/Social Studies teacher via Dallas ISD serving a Title I school, where 99% of the scholars come from low-income families and receive free or reduced-price lunch. This doesn't solemnly define the children who attend the school. They are brilliant, full of life, and operate with a growth mindset. My scholars live in a tough neighborhood, yet this doesn't keep them from being South Dallas proud! They deserve the best education and learning environments. I do not want them to worry about their needs being met in any classroom. Our classroom is a safe space and home away from home. I want to provide them as much as I can to be successful in my English Language Arts Class. Scholars are in need of paper for class and take-home homework folders, pencils, hot glue, magnets and tape for grade level crafts/activities/spirit days. Recess essentials such as board games, and jump ropes to be used for daily indoor and outdoor blocks. Baskets for storing calm down corner items, and paper and pencil holders for maximum organization.
