My Students

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."—Confucius

My students are cheerful, full of spirit, and jolly.

I teach four- to eight-year-old students with ranging disabilities from autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. They love to touch, play, paint, create, invent, and experiment. They have varied imaginations—creative ones!

"Every child is a different kind of flower. All together, they make this world a beautiful garden."—Anonymous

They love spending time together drawing, coloring, and building. The joy in their eyes when bringing something new to the table is priceless.

My Project

As my students continue to learn remotely at home, they all deserve to feel the warmth and care that their teachers have for them even though we only see each other on the screen.

"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire" Edith Sitwell

The requested materials of first aid kits, toothbrushes, toothpaste, dove soap, bath towels and socks will be used to help my students stay clean, safe and feel warmth of love as they continue to eagerly learn and participate in class virtually. The variety snacks and juices will give my students the energy to stay awake as they continue to take part and complete assigned tasks virtually.

These materials will surely make my students feel the care and warmth of love we have for them.
