My Students

I work at an Elementary School in West Philadelphia. My students are exceptional because they are determined, resilient, and creative. My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, energetic, and ready to learn.

Despite the many challenges they face, they fight back against the odds.

They have amazing parents who support them in their learning and making decisions that influence a positive future for their lives.

I am looking to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences that are centered around choice and promotes learning and development.

My Project

These storage items will help make a difference in their lives and my classroom. This can help them be successful providing the students with an organized environment. The students will also learn about organization and how to keep the classroom clean! This can help their organizational skills from now and through their future, including their educational careers. These storage containers will help make their lives and learning easier by being organized and in order. These storage items will be used for guided reading books, school supplies, guided reading materials, and teacher supplies for the students to use through out the year!
