My Students

There are students in our city, and surrounding counties, who have everything they need. There are students on the other end of the spectrum that are lacking basic supplies. My school, much like our city, is a diverse and creative community from all walks of life.

I am proud to be a librarian at a school with students who can learn from one another’s cultural and socio-economic differences and family make-up.

My school embraces and welcomes all families, making it a true neighborhood school. Our parents give of themselves, our teachers and administration are good people, and our students are our passion.

My Project

I am a huge fan of Teachers Pay Teachers! I have found so many awesome lessons on this site that are written and developed by teachers. I am requesting Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards to help purchase resources made by school librarians that are specific to the library such as book care and parts of a book. Other resources that will be helpful are activities to go with specific books, as well as STEAM activities. The possibilities are endless! Teachers Pay Teachers is a great tool for finding new, exciting ways to teach students grade level resources and activities for my students. The resources available on Teachers Pay Teachers are subject-based, grade-level appropriate, current, relevant, and engaging for students.

Teachers Pay Teachers has materials that are great resources for teachers to build student knowledge in a different and engaging way.
