My Students

I teach in a rural elementary school and most of my students have known each other since kindergarten. This has created wonderful bonds among my students.

My students are bright, inquisitive and LOVE learning!

They don't back down from a challenge. They crave knowledge and are ready to face new tasks. Two-thirds of the student population is economically disadvantaged. My students love learning through technology. They are hard workers and will do amazing things. These students have exciting futures ahead of them.

My Project

Our math class needs pencil sharpeners, pencils, and erasers. We go through lots of pencils and erasers while problem solving and learning math skills. Having these supplies readily available will help us keep our focus on our math!

We need to sharpen our math skills!

Help us get these school supplies so that our math class can dig in to our learning. These supplies will be used by all students and help us focus our time on learning our math!

It is OKAY to erase! This is how we learn. When we don't get it right the first time, we erase and TRY AGAIN! That is what problem solving is all about.
