My Students

I've got an amazing group of kiddos who love to laugh and love to learn. I come to school each morning knowing that as soon as my kids walk through that door I will be greeted with a smile and more often than not, a hug as well. Their giggles as they hide behind a book and peek over the top to check if I am looking to make every reading area clean up worth it. Their soft voice saying they want to do more work makes every moment planning worth it. These kids are worth every little bit that goes into being their teacher.

These kids are so smart, and I want to give them the supplies they need to push them to their full potential.

I teach in an exceptional ed classroom that is physically small but packed full of talent and skills just waiting to be unpacked. Please help me fund our classroom so we can continue to push these kids to see and reach for their potential.

My Project

This is my first year teaching at an amazing school, but the supplies left by previous teachers have begun to run low. We are in search of heroes to help supply materials for crafts, class projects, building independence, and continued health for all students.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student engagement in academics and their surroundings; you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement as well as their health.

The bibs, 360 cups, bowls, Kleenex and other sanitary products will be used by students to build their independence in caring for their physical needs and keep the classroom healthy. All arts and crafts supplies will be used for hands on learning to go with our curriculum, and to make our class project for the school wide art auction. And all puzzles, brain teasers, and games will be sued for our students to practice socialization, and fine and gross motor skills. Each and every item in the cart has a plan for it, that can make major impacts in a child's life. Thank you for every little bit that you give as every small grain of sand can grow to be a mountain.
