My Students

My students come from a school that prides itself on diversity and equal opportunity. They live up to these expectations by communicating regularly with their peers, teachers, and administration. These students advocate for themselves to make sure they get the best education and the best environment that is safe and nurturing. Each student shines bright with an individual personality that is willing and capable of growing.

My students are innovators, advocates, and fighters.

With the right tools, they have the chance to succeed in high school and beyond.

My Project

To learn, students need the space and the materials to express their incredible ideas!

These tools will support students to be creative in the classroom.

Tools like markers, pencils, and post its wear and tear over time, so many are needed for students to utilize them for their own creativity.

Colored paper will help to support students to differentiate between task cards (instructions to their activities) and individual worksheets.

The step stool will help me to cover taller spaces on the white board and the clip boards will support students to write when desk space is not available.
