My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Many students in my classroom come in saying they have difficulty completing practice assignments at home because of lack of supplies and resources.

Our school is nestled in the heart of Queens!

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

In our school we need to create and print a lot of our own materials to supplement the student learning. This requires a lot of computer paper to be brought in.

It is difficult to ask students families to provide this for the class and gets very expensive.

In our classroom the basic materials are always lacking, so by having extra notebooks, pencils and art supplies the students will not always need to be sharing with one another!

By helping with these supplies the class can learn to the best of their ability.
