My Students

In my class, every student is special and unique. I've taken joy in being a part of a special school community where students, families, and teachers all work together to give our students a strong social, emotional and academic foundation. We all have the same goal in mind: to cultivate a nurturing environment in which we are committed to challenging each student to meet his/her optimal potential academically, socially, and emotionally by respecting, appreciating and challenging students in a caring community, while building a sense of responsibility and respect.

My Project

I am asking for basic school supplies so my students can have notebooks to write in, pens and pencils to write with and folders to keep their work organized.

I am asking for basic school supplies used daily.

With these supplies I will be able to ensure that all my students have the basic school supplies needed for daily lessons and activities. Many students take these supplies for granted; however, they are necessary to ensure that each student has the supplies needed to be organized and successful in daily learning activities for math and ELA lessons. These supplies will ensure my students will have their own individual work where they can see their academic growth throughout the year.
