My Students

I teach Kindergarten at a Title I School which serves mostly minority students. Most of them have very little and cannot afford to have the resources they need to excel academically, emotionally and physically. I love teaching my students the skills they need to succeed as an individual. I spend a large sum of my income to buy them materials to complete various tasks. With your help I will continue to provide them the basic things to educate them. Any donation will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

My Project

My students are working on building their reading skills so having a variety books available in our classroom library will keep them motivated to read. Help my students develop good reading habits and help build vocabulary. Being exposed to books and able to check it out is a wonderful opportunity for my students. Most of them do not have computers or access to be able to go to the library so having the books readily available to them is great. I am a first year teacher so giving my students the way to read is priceless. Please donate any amount.
