My Students

I teach 22 eager first grade students that are always excited and eager to learn. They love hands-on learning and work best in a calm and comfortable environment. Many of the students at my school come to us with many challenges in life, with over 50 percent of our students receiving free or reduced-priced lunch.

Together, with my colleagues, we work very hard to create a safe, calm, comfortble and organized environment for our students.

We appreciate your thoughtfulness in giving to our classroom!

My Project

Students in my classroom enjoy working in a calm environment.

It helps them to stay focused and helps them to put in their best effort.

A calm environment promotes higher level thinking and better attention. Your donation will help us create a space where students can thrive and work to their fullest potential. Students will have an opportunity to focus better and stay on task to complete assignments.

Together with your help we will create a calm and inviting classroom for students to stay focused on their learning targets. These lamps will help create some positive low light for students to feel relaxed and calm.
