My Students
I believe every child deserves the opportunity for an excellent education, and I am proud to partner with my school, other educators, families, and community leaders to strive toward this goal. I teach in a high poverty school zone in which 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. These amazing students need additional support because most of them come from low-income single family households of which many have little to no support or resources. Despite some of the challenges they face in and around their environment, every year my students come to school excited, full of life, and eager to learn.
As the 2016 and 2019 Teacher of the Year as well as an alumni of Metro Atlanta Teach for America, I choose to continue to significantly impact the life trajectories of students in our region’s high-need communities.
My Project
First grade and reading go hand in hand. Phonics is a crucial aha connection between sound and letters that make words come alive on the page and open the door to reading. Introducing, modeling, connecting, and practicing phonics skills is a part of our daily routine in our reading block.
I am requesting engaging and meaningful ways for my students to learn how sounds and letters connect and relate makes learning exciting.
The tool kit, alphabet strips, folders, and instructional manual from Tools4Reading will make our phonics time an exciting time to learn together in an exciting hands-on style.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
