My Students

I teach at a low-income, inner-city school in the heart of a busy downtown. My students come from many different types of homes and extremely diverse family dynamics. For most of my students, this is their first school experience.

My goal this school year is to give my students lots of opportunities to explore and create wonderful things.

Being a S.T.E.A.M. (Science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) certified school means all learning should be hands-on and extremely engaging, which allows me to be very creative in my teaching style. I'm excited to make learning fun and meaningful for my kindergarteners' first experience attending school.

My Project

My students are writing and doing a lot of projects everyday. We are using up all our beginning of the year materials like thick pencils that are easier for us to grip and jumbo glue sticks so we can create our projects.

As we are learning pencil grip and how to write our letters properly, it is better for us to use the thicker pencils.

It’s easier to correct our grip and they do not break as easily. We also prefer to use the jumbo glue sticks because they last much longer as well.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
