My Students

Our school is a five-star preschool facility located in the diverse city of Durham. I am a preschool lead teacher and case manage individualize education plans of kids.

I have very energetic and inquisitive preschoolers in my class.

Children develop, grow and learn skills that will make them successful in different aspects of life. To help support and nurture the needs of these students, they are in need of support from a community that builds dreams and supports their aspirations in life.

Thus, providing them the materials that would help meet their needs is very important especially during these uncertain times.

Please help and support my project! My kids are grateful for your support!

Together let's build a strong and supportive community!

My Project

This year, I will continue to support the emerging literacy skills of my preschool students using the Letterland Phonics System. This will be my fourth year teaching literacy using Letterland. I have witnessed every child's excitement when it comes to recognizing letters, practicing phonics sounds, learning to write, and being creative because of Letterland. This year, I would like to expand the Letterland resource materials that I have in the classroom. This will make my students' learning more engaging and meaningful. These literacy materials will promote kindergarten-ready students as they will master their foundation of reading. We will be forever grateful for your support.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
