My Students

My students (Scholars as I refer to them!) are inventive, respectful, resourceful, and oh so creative! I am fortunate to have a small class of 11 wonderfully – amazing – unique scholars.. Our classroom has just gained 11 more kindergarten students from the other kindergarten class due to maternity leave.. I will now have 23!! Our school is the ONLY Title I Charter School in Sarasota, Florida! I have been incredibly impressed by each and every scholar that has walked into our classroom family this year. With support from donors, we will have endless opportunities to grow and learn together this school year!! Thank you for believing in my dreams and helping however possible!!

My Project

We are lucky enough to have a wonderful outdoor space behind our classroom.. I would love to have a space that is just the right size for the kindergarten class to learn all about the joys of being outdoors! The area will be used as often as possible and especially during our science block!

Every kid should get the experience of making mudpies with their friends and why not make this happen at school with this amazing outdoors play house!

I love watching my students work together and use their imagination to explore the world around them! Help make our dreams come true with this extra space we have been given!
