My Students

My kids are the best. I adore them and creating a welcoming classroom environment is very important to me. Every kid that has ever come through my program has later told me how loved and accepted they felt by me and all the other students in the program. We are a family and part of that family feel comes from the surroundings in which we reside. I want all my future students to feel the same way about my program.

My Project

I teach all high school ages, 9-12, and my kids are in need of technology in the classroom. We need to access information on a daily basis and our school is not ready to support us on this need. My Seniors need technology a lot, since we are constantly looking for current events or writing strategies, etc.

My kids would be so grateful to have access to chromebooks on a daily basis and not once a week, since we share the computers with 15 other teachers.

All of my kids need access to relevant information in order to connect them with the world.

Grades 9-12
