My Students

I am an educator in a low-income, Title I school with almost 500 children. This year will be my 13th year teaching. This year I will service 46 eager and ready scholars. They are excited about this school year and all of the fun activities that I have planned.

My goal this year is to make all of my students grow one grade level above where they are now.

I want all of my students to be successful this year. I want them to excel.

My Project

We have our own printer/copier in our classroom. We are running low on the ink that is needed to keep it going. We would like to have more ink to be used in our class. We use the printer all of the time for our classroom projects and activities. I also use the printer to print out colorful reports. Students print out materials when they are working on classroom projects. For example, students were able to print out pictures of people in order to add them to their brochures or posters. Colorful pictures are always better than black and white ones! We need ink!
