My students from Oroville, California are the most creative, thoughtful, and energetic first graders I have had the privilege to teach. They love hands on activities where they can create, explore, and design their own masterpieces, utilizing whatever materials we have on hand. They come to school each day ready to try new things and make brave choices to grow both academically and socially. They are truly my inspiration.
Our school is in a very underprivileged area in Butte County that has been effected by the many tragedies around it.
Many of my students come to school tired, hungry and unsettled. My school works endlessly to provide an environment where our students can learn and thrive. An environment that is engaging, rich and full of learning activities to support and cater to each individual need.
We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, learning options, group work and individual instruction to ensure our students are receiving the best possible education where they feel safe and free to be themselves.
I am so lucky and thankful to have such an incredible group of children that come to school each day ready to learn and trust in each days new adventure.
My Project
It has always been a dream of mine to create a room filled with comfortable chairs, bean bags to sit in, a carpet to lay on, and an abundance of learning activities to chooses from. A home away from home for students who don't know what its like to come home to a safe, quiet, comfortable environment.
By donating to this project you will be helping create a room where learning at its best takes place.
Where the choices are unlimited for each student, whether its quiet time reading a book in a bean bag, partner time listening to stories at the listening center, or small group time building a project at the small, round table where students can sit in rocking chairs. Students will be engaged, comfortable, and excited about learning.
By providing my students with a room filled with learning choices and flexible seating students will be able to take charge of their learning. They will be more engaged, and feel safe and supported at school. My hope is to give my students a room where they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved all the while enjoying the love of learning.
