My Students

Do you remember the fear and anxiety of freshman year in high school? It can be traumatizing entering a new environment where you're constantly told that every decision you make will impact the rest of your life.

I currently teach ninth grade English in one of the most diversified public high schools in Texas where "Best is the Standard"!

My students come from all walks of life, but they have one thing in common: a love for learning and growth.

My students are eager to engage in any challenge that comes their way because they believe in our class motto: Progress not Perfection! Having a growth mindset is at the core of everything we do.

We've worked hard to foster a classroom environment full of support, guidance, kindness, and challenges. However, due to the diverse nature of my student's backgrounds, I often find students who lack the basics required to maximize their potential in the classroom. Yet, they remain fearless when it comes to tackling any new material that is placed in front of them. However, in order to accomplish their goals, they need to be properly prepared to engage the world around them.

My Project

Please help my students finish out the year with a clean and organized environment. With the current rise in Covid cases, social distancing and other protective measures are important. With limited space in the classroom, we have to get creative with how we provide that safety.

We want to organize and rearrange our classroom so that we feel safe during this time of uncertainty.

The items in this project will go towards helping us achieve that goal. We will be able to declutter our classroom to make way for the space needed to feel safe.
