My Students

I teach in a preschool room in a low-income school district. My students are faced with challenges inside and outside of the classroom. Despite the many challenges that my students are facing, I strive to provide them with a fun, interactive, safe, and meaningful learning environment. As their teacher, I try to instill the importance of communicating/listening to one another, being a good citizen and leader, and using trauma-informed techniques to aide them in their social-emotional development.

My students have various learning styles' backgrounds and needs.

Due to being located in an inner-city, funding is extremely hard to come by, and in order to provide my students with the best learning experiences I can give them, I typically find ways to procure these items and experiences out of pocket or by any means I can, which is where DonorsChoose comes in.

My Project

I am creating this project in order to purchase an air purifier and humidifier to create a clean learning space.

A lot of my students have asthma and other health problems that make them sick easily.

Between these ailments, winter weather, weather changes, and older air systems I have students who are out frequently due to sickness and breathing problems.

I am creating this project in order to purchase an air purifier and humidifier to use in the classroom to make it easier for students to breathe, eliminating germs and other harmful things in the air, and limiting their exposure to things in the air that can trigger asthma attacks, colds, and other ailments that make them sick and absent from school. I am hoping by having a classroom that has cleaner air will ensure that they have less opportunities to be sick and more opportunities to be present and ready to breathe easy and learn!
