My Students

My upper elementary students have a superpower which is called American Sign Language! Their eyes and hands hold the key to their academic success. They are all deaf and hard of hearing and their identity plays a key role in their lives.

My classroom community is made up of my students beautiful culture, heritage, life experiences, and language.

In addition, most are considered ELs (English Learners) due to interrupted education, no access to language in their home country, and a different language spoken at home. I have the privilege to work with such brilliant students. My goal is for them to dream beyond our classroom environment through books, technology, and more!

My Project

The snacks requested will provide access to grab-and-go items that can help keep students' minds in the classroom and on their learning. A missed breakfast isn't the best way to start the day, but it is a reality for many.

I never want a student to become distracted or disinterested due to hunger or fatigue.

Having access to a quick snack at any time of the day can alter the course of learning and have a huge impact on academic success and performance. Having the energy to get through the day requires fuel for their brains - and this basic human right should never go unfulfilled.
