My Students

My class is the perfect mix of students from different backgrounds, abilities, and interests. While some are strong readers, others are still mastering letter recognition and sounds. Similarly, some students have excelled at mathematical concepts and practices; yet, others are still trying to identify numerals one through ten. Although their skills fall all across the spectrum, one thing they ALL have in common is their love for school, learning, and life!

In the classroom inclusion and a sense of community is just as important as education!

We work together to keep the room safe and harmonious; we celebrate one another and our differences, and we always strive to lift others up with kind words. Even though at times some may struggle with the curriculum, getting along, and following directions, one thing I can count on from this vivacious and curious group of children is that they never give up! They are the future!

My Project

My class is filled with students of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Unfortunately, they do not all have the same resources and materials. Because equity is my main goal and getting my students where they need to be by all means possible, I created a donors choose to provide them with books and more books. Books on all levels, and books written by and with characters who are people of color.

Literacy is vital for all students' growth academically and socially.

It offers them more knowledge, more power, and the ability to close the gap of inequality. Thank you for supporting my project!
