My Project
Bringing the comfort of home to the classroom, I will meet my kiddos where they are to make sure that they are getting the best of me to create the BEST them. Children learn through play and being comfortable. With the items that I have on my list, I will make sure that my classroom is not only engaging but will create a safe and comfortable space for ALL kids.
Creating confident kids no matter what academic level they are on will ensure that my students will give me all of them while I promote positive and effective learning throughout the year.
My students want to learn but not all of them have the home support that others may have in other areas. My goal is to not only teach academics, but to teach them how to love and believe in themselves even when things get hard.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
