My Students

My students are extremely bright and hard working children. They always do their best on their work and strive to learn the most they can during the school day.

My students are extremely generous and are always willing to help others.

They deserve nothing but the best and as their teacher that is exactly what I try my best to provide!

Working in a low income school brings some difficulties that we have to overcome. Having the support from others and the great personalities that I have in my classroom really helps overcome those difficulties!

My Project

Help me provide my students with a library inside our classroom!

Many students in our classroom do not have access to books outside of the school day.

Providing my class with a library inside our classroom allows them to have full and open access to reading throughout the day. I hope to be able to provide a wide range and variety of books for students to enjoy while they are in the classroom and learning throughout their day.

Providing books to read to my students is extremely important to me as a teacher. Reading is what gets the mind working and having an in class library will ensure students get in their 20 minutes of reading a day!
