My Students

I teach at a Title I school with a high need for support due to the income-based and the physical dynamics of the home. I believe a school should be their safe haven to feel protected, loved, and successful. I love that our room is a place to call home and work together as a family.

I give each child a chance to express who they are and work to their full potential.

A growth mindset plays a critical role in our daily learning process in our classroom. From day one, I begin building relationships with each and every one of my students to ease any anxiety I can that occurs on a daily basis. Children in my room quickly respond to this. In turn, the trust is formed that I believe in them and they begin to believe in themselves!

“All great accomplishments were once considered impossible." (unknown)

I want my students to think...I'm possible!

My Project

Help me provide warmth and security to my students with beach towels, pillows, and pillow cases that can be individualized to meet their personalities and provide securities in times of their lives that they are feeling lost and alone.

Our children are fearful of the world and what lies ahead.

Much of their anxiety is out of their hands, but so heavy on their hearts as they think about their future and their loved ones. I want to give them a project that connects them to the ones they love the most: their families, their friends, and their school/teachers. Together as a nation we can help reduce fear and provide comfort in students as we move forward through COVID-19 and all of the unknowns around us.

I want to provide a sense of security for all of my children to know that every thing is going to be okay. I am here for them today, tomorrow, always.
