My Students

Welcome to our 5th class of bright and talented learners!

My students are a wonderful, inquisitive group of children who need to see the benefits of learning and where it can take them.

They are fun-loving, energetic, and always trying to make the most out of life. We are situated in a lower-income neighborhood on Oahu, and I would love to offer my kids more... more fun, more engagement, more opportunities, and more resources than they can see for themselves.

My Project

Our kids will use the bands & wobble cushions to help keep themselves focused as they complete classroom work/activities, and the trays/organizers to keep all forms of paper organized as a mailbox/turn in area.

These materials will help to keep our students stress-free, engaged, and organized throughout the year, even in trying COVID times!

The students incoming are VERY high-need, and would highly benefit from being able to have the option to move at their seat and have highly organized area to turn in and receive papers. As we are still working with this group of students on routines and organization, the trays would be SO useful!
