My Project

Every summer students come from different challenges that families faced where stabilization is essential for learning. The products that I have selected will be used to create clean and organized space for students to start the year with their best minds. The goal is to have students engaged in learning, feeling safe and meeting their basic needs so that they can learn. Redirections will be small, and positive knowing that a breakfast bar for if they are hungry or a job well done sticker on their work.

Being able to come to school knowing that your class is clean and healthy, materials are provided and organized to check-in or express how they feel is important.

Helping to create a sense of belonging is important to the relationship with my students. They are resilient, and I want them to know that no matter what, teachers and staff have their best interest at school.
