My Students

This year, I have 25 students in the 6th grade who come from different backgrounds, but all share the same love for learning. Our vision is to provide a foundation in which each student's academic potential is developed in a nurturing environment.

A large percentage of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and school is the one place that some of them can feel safe and cared for.

We do our best to provide them with everything they need; however, there are always ways to improve and maximize their success!

I teach in an amazing grade level with passionate teachers who only have one goal in mind. We want to educate our wonderful students.

Our students are funny, sassy, creative, smart, and brilliant! As their teacher, it is my job to ensure that they are getting the best education that they deserve and all the tools they need to be successful!

My Project

These art supplies will continue to enhance our learning about different topics. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy being creative! Every student is thankful for the opportunity to be an amazing artist. All of these supplies have been chosen with my students in mind. I have watched them enjoy other art projects that they have completed.

With these new art supplies, my students will be able to be creative and have the tools that they need.

Students will be able to paint and draw and creating art boosts self-esteem and provides a sense of accomplishment in students.
