My Students

I teach at a diverse urban public school. The students at my school are goofy, kind, curious, and eager to learn new things.

Not only are these students exciting to be around, but they are also some of the most caring, hardworking, and curious first graders who bring their open-mindedness into the classroom each and every day.

As their teacher, I strive every day to motivate my students to achieve their highest potential through reading, writing, math, science, music, and exploration!

My Project

This is a back to school supply project!

These materials--folders, dry erase markers, storage bins, and colored paper will be help students start the year off in a sweet and supported way as they journey into first-grade math, reading, writing, and more!

More specifically, the dry erase markers will be used by students during our Fundations phonics time. The durable folders will be given to students to carry their work home with them each day they come to school. The storage bins will make choice time possible for students with different materials in each box for students to utilize and access.

Thanks so much for your support!
