My Students

My 3 year olds are some of the most amazing children I have ever met. They thrive while living in one of the most dangerous communities in our nation's capital. Some have gone through more in their young lives than many of us will every have to endure in a lifetime. Yet every day, they walk down a hill to school where they are able to escape the violence that riddles their neighborhood and find solace in our classroom. Despite all of the challenges they face outside the school walls, they still come to school each day ready and excited to learn.

My students blossom with the educational and enrichment opportunities being offered, which helps them to build their background knowledge and exposes them to things they otherwise wouldn't be exposed to.

For all of them, coming to school is where they have any opportunities to build their academic and social foundations to set them up for success later in life.

My Project

Cooking is a skill that is essential to life as an adult. Often, cooking is something children do with their parents or grandparents at an early age to begin to acquire the skill. With our new curriculum, cooking is something we do in our classroom on a regular basis. It gives children the opportunity to enhance their math and literacy skills in a new way while giving them the opportunity to learn to cook.

Unfortunately, we do not have any of the basic materials we need to be able to cook and bake in the classroom.

We are requesting all of the basic cooking and baking essentials; measuring cups and spoons to measure ingredients, spoons and spatulas for mixing and stirring, pans for baking, knives and cutting board for cutting ingredients, a toaster oven for baking, a hot plate for cooking, and pots and pans to use on the hot plate. These materials will give students the opportunity to cook in the classroom where they otherwise may not have the opportunity to do so.
