My Students

Amazing, wonderful, creative, athletic, innovative, and curious are just a few words that can be used to describe the energetic bunch of 5 and 6 year olds who enter my classroom every morning. They come from varying home lives but once they walk into the classroom they are one big, happy family.

My phenomenal students need your help to level the playing field and give them a fair opportunity to succeed.

The school can provide their meals and help parents with after school care but we need additional support to give these kids access to the technology and educational materials that their peers are already using.

These kids want to learn. They want to be successful. They want to make us all proud. Please help them meet their dreams and rise above even our greatest expectations.

My Project

These materials will bring our new science curriculum to life for my kindergarten students. They will be able to explore and see first hand how magnets work and how to build the most stable bridge. We need CanDo! Science activity kits to help us better understand the world around us!

My students need to be able to manipulate and discover with their own two hands!

These science kits will make them life long scientists! They will experience first hand the science behind force and motion. Students will also need the construction paper to complete their STEM journals and record all of their scientific observations!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
