My Students

I teach a dynamic group of fabulous kindergarten students in an​ extremely diverse school in New York. My students love reading funny stories, poetry, creating art, and learning new facts.

My class absolutely loves our beloved puppet, Chef.

He cooks up sight words, poems, vocabulary words, and books each day in his magic pot. My students are funny, enthusiastic, inquisitive, compassionate, and sweet.

My Project

Studies have shown that wearing masks reduces the spread of Covid-19 in schools. Luckily, my school district mandates masks for students and staff. Masking is an extra layer of protection, especially since we can't socially distance adequately. We need several boxes of masks. My kindergarteners often chew their masks and sneeze in their masks! We could use a supply of backup masks for when our masks need to be changed! These masks have 4 layers of protection and are sturdy. We can also use left handed scissors.

Your donation will help my students during the Covid-19 pandemic!
