My Students

The students in my class attend an urban school district with limited financial resources. Most of the students receive​ free or reduced-price lunch. Many of them have experienced crime in their lives and find it difficult to come to school. It can be overwhelming to know how to help. They are sweet kids with big dreams. They dream of learning, being successful athletes, helping their families, and reaching their full potential.

Many of these students must overcome obstacles such as poverty and uncertain home situations.

A high-quality educator can make a significant difference in a student’s life. When I look at my students, I see unlimited possibilities. Overall, my students living in poverty are just like other children, but they can encounter limitations and barriers that make it harder to learn, including students whose first language is not English. My main goal is to give each student the chance to have success in school and beyond.

My Project

My students have been so resilient during these challenging times. They always look forward to our Friday fun activities. In our class we have students who enjoy art and they find it very relaxing and therapeutic.

My project will provide art supplies to my diverse students so they can express themselves and their cultures.

The culturally inclusive crayons and construction paper will allow students to create self portraits and represent their unique selves and their cultures. As we slowly return to classroom instruction students are not able to share classroom material, the project also includes individual classroom art supplies ( markers, pencils, colored paper) to all students, so they can safely express themselves and continue building their social emotional skills. We greatly appreciate your support to our classroom!
