My Students

My students are striving and exceptional learners. They are hard workers who enjoy learning and working with friends to discover new things. They ask lots of questions and love to find the answers.

My students face many obstacles in life, therefore, my classroom provides a low-risk environment for learning and having fun.

Students learn best when they are not afraid of making mistakes and where they trust one another. My goal for my students is to help them lead independent and meaningful lives.

My Project

My students are incredibly eager learners. By supporting my project, you will be providing these hard working students with basic classroom supplies such as pens, pencils, erasers, colored pencils, and other necessities they desperately need for learning, allowing them to have important and necessary materials available to them. These materials will allow them to be prepared to learn!

This project will provide resources that are necessary for my students to be successful in the classroom and will help to prepare them for high school and beyond.

These materials will help them to be better organized and prepared for any and all tasks and to be more engaged in reading, writing, and practicing math skills.
