My Students

My students are creative, energized, and thoughtful explorers! They are 7-year-olds who are looking to see themselves reflected in our curriculum and learning. We are located in an urban setting, where community members struggle with poverty, violence, and substance abuse. My hope is to build a classroom community that is a safe haven for my students, with the help of my students!

These students are looking for a secure, love-filled, and welcoming learning environment - and it is my goal to create that.

By purchasing books with diverse characters, filling bulletin boards with images of important people who look like my students, and working to create culturally responsive curriculum plans, my students will see themselves as future leaders within our community and society.

My Project

The materials and support I have requested will be utilized to promote community building within our classroom, increase my students pride in themselves, build their self-esteem as learners, and maximize positive interactions between community members.

Donating to this project will gift young students of color opportunities to see themselves, their families, and their peers reflected in our every day learning - a luxury those in the racial majority often take for granted.

By utilizing the materials donated my you, my students will be support and embraced by those like them throughout history and in today's world. The last year and a half has been extremely difficult for all of us, but those experiencing food and housing insecurities, racism, and abuse have not stop experiencing those hardships just because there is a pandemic. Please do what you can to support our classroom in building future leaders and loving those students who are struggling in other situations. Thank you!
