My Students

I work at an amazing school that is completely dedicated to student success. The group of second grade students I have this year, will benefit greatly from the opportunity to read, write and learn in an environment that supports the developmental needs of seven and eight year olds. I teach in a collaborative class which means a variety of needs are present.

My students are incredible individuals with various needs and strengths that I strive to differentiate for, on a personal level.

The progress my students have shown from their needs being met by generous donations, is evident in the data and formative assessments I collect daily.

My Project

Help bring art to life in a maker space for students who need art therapy!

Art is known to break down barriers, and enhance well-being: Art therapy brings creativity and personality to life in a hands-on, judgement free safe space.

Please help bring supplies such as paints, colored pencils, crayons, oil pastels and organizing trays into the hands of students who need them the most. Help my students create so they can express themselves in new ways. Help them free their artistic souls, and work until they shine!

Thank you for all of your support in bringing this project to life! Your help will color the worlds of many students with all life has to offer.
