My Students

My students are brilliant, kind, talented, loving, supportive of one another, and destined for greatness. I would do anything for them. They also face hardship and adversity every single day. Our students come to school with trauma and difficulties, but push through and shine. We as educators have a duty to provide them with the necessary care, love, and understanding so that they can find the power within themselves to rise above and succeed. They deserve the absolute BEST education possible with every resource at their fingertips.

My Project

We are in desperate need of materials that so that students have everything they need to be successful. We lack the resources to provide an equitable learning environment that is engaging, student centered, and interactive. I also want to provide an environment that is comfortable and safe. For this reason I am seeking alternate seating for my classroom. Students should learn in a way that best fits their needs and learning style. The typical desks and chairs are not working in 21st century learning. The requested resources will help our learning environment tremendously. Please help us create the best opportunities for students to be successful both academically and socially.
