I teach a diverse group of 25 kindergartners in a high poverty neighborhood. Every morning, my students enter our classroom with a lot of energy and an appetite for learning. I can see their eyes quickly scan the room to see what exciting learning opportunities await.
I teach at one of the most diverse schools in the country.
I absolutely love it! My students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds, but they all love to learn and experience new things. As their teacher, it is my goal to motivate my students and teach the whole child. All of my kindergartners come from diverse backgrounds, languages, and academic abilities. Many of them come from families living in poverty and face various challenges. I teach English learners and students with special needs such as autism, ADD, and ADHD. All of my students come to school every day excited to learn. They are a great group of kids who love school and love learning!
My Project
I would like to do everything I can to keep my students healthy and protected during the Covid 19 pandemic. My students are 100% in person learning during the coronavirus pandemic. They are only 5 and 6 years old, and most are not vaccinated for the coronavirus. I would like to get a supply of N95 masks to wear in the classroom. Face masks are critical since we will be indoors for over six hours per day. These masks are rated highly and recommended by many.
A healthy child is a better learner.
I would like to do my part in helping my students who often face systemic barriers to health and wellness. As a teacher, I will teach them how to be germ free and healthy. Thank you so much for helping my learners!
