My Project

My students are full of energy, creativity, and a genuine eagerness to learn every day. I teach at a Title I school where many of my students face challenges outside the classroom, but they come to school excited and ready to grow. What I love most is their curiosity, their kindness, and their joy in learning new things. They thrive when given the chance to express themselves through art and hands-on activities.

Supplies like colored pencils, crayons, and headphones are used daily in our classroom and are essential to keeping them engaged and successful.

These tools help bring their ideas to life, support focused learning, and create opportunities for every child to feel confident and capable.
