My Students
Did you love school? My students do! I teach kindergarten to a highly motivated, fun, and diverse group of students at a Title I school with 100% free breakfast and lunch.
My students come to school ready and eager to learn!
They work hard and look forward to learning.
My students are faced with daily challenges and our school is unable to provide all items that are needed to prepare our students to live in an ever-changing world. I make school fun and exciting while providing my students with a safe and nurturing environment where they feel comfortable taking risks and trying out new things. I cannot provide all the additional items that are needed to make our classroom the best learning environment possible, but you can help with that.
My Project
My students need STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) activities aimed to foster inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaboration skills. This includes STEM Early Learning Kits where the children solve problems as they play and explore using the items provided, an I Can Build It! Architecture Set, Blocks and Blueprints Learning Centers, Fairy Tale Problem Solving STEM Kits, and Design and Build Engineering centers. These hands-on items enhance the learning that is being done during the school day and will be used whole group, small group, and individually.
By providing the requested items, my students will have the materials necessary to meet their needs and my students will get the support and reinforcement that is needed for their success.
Please support my students by contributing to our project. By providing your support, you will help me meet their needs and you will make all of us very, very happy. Thank you for your support!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
