My Students

My students are creative, brilliant, and determined to succeed. They are a group of 10- to 11-year-old students who strive to do their very best and attack education with limitless ambition.

I constantly share with them how much THEY, as learners, motivate me, their teacher, to push and challenge myself in whatever I set out to do.

Regardless of their backgrounds and the unique challenges they face, when they enter our school doors, they are over-comers, go-getters, and scholars ready to tackle the world! I am so proud and grateful to be their teacher!

Thank you for considering a partnership with my class! We greatly appreciate our donors and their generosity and support towards education!

My Project

Our classroom is in need of basic materials, we use on a daily basis! In a classroom of 23 fifth graders materials run out quicker than one would imagine! Such items include, paper and binder clips, ziplock baggies, sharpie markers, file folders, cardstock, and extra snacks for students with limited resources at home.

Although these items may be ordinary; they are an essential part of our day, and add up quickly!

Baggies are used each time a student looses a tooth in the middle of a math lesson, or to aid in organizing game pieces to our favorite reading games! In addition, file folders and organizers are used to keep a clean house! Being in an old school building, storage is limited and it gets crowded. Additionally, a good glue gun in the classroom is priceless. As well as, magnets to help hang resources on the white board!

With that said, these basic classroom items are essential to the functionality of any school day! With hopes of a visit from the tooth fairy, one can never have too many ziplock baggies handy!
