My Students

My students are awesome! This group of inquisitive children loves to investigate and ask questions. They enjoy learning!

There is a range of ability-levels in the classroom.

Some students are gifted academically and others are severely impacted with learning disabilities. It is a privilege and yet a challenge to meet those needs.

Throughout the school year, I would be happy to have the community of "donors choose" participate in various projects that would benefit my learners and help them to reach their full potential. They are our future!

My Project

My students love playing soccer, basketball, football, foursquare, frisbee, and jumping rope! Unfortunately, my class has not had the privilege of playing with this sports equipment yet. However, by having access to these resources, my students will be able to exercise and have fun at recess time, promoting a healthy lifestyle and fitness skills! And as a result, they will be more ready to focus and learn when we return to the classroom!

Every child needs time outdoors to play!

With your help, my students will have the playground materials they need to do just that. Thanks so much for considering a donation to my class project! You make the difference!
