My Students

I am a first grade teacher in a Title I PK-2 elementary school, which means many of my students are below the poverty level. My students are very inquisitive and eager to learn. We are engaged in our learning and are striving to become life-long learners.

My students are thinkers, dreamers, and doers.

They love to put on their “thinking caps” and stretch their brains to become the very best learners they can be. It is my desire to give them the tools they need to achieve their goals and realize their dreams. They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

We have been so very blessed to have a book vending machine funded through DonorsChoose. This machine will be used to encourage reading and motivate learners while fostering the love of reading in all of our students. Students earn golden tokens by reaching positive behavior goals, reading goals, work ethic, and good character which can then be used to "buy" books from the vending machine.

Having an exciting assortment of books for our Pre-K to 2nd grade students will promote literacy by enticing students to meet goals and "buy" books.

Our students will be so excited to see such an amazing assortment of books from which they can choose.
