My Students

My students are just awesome! It is as simple as that - just awesome! They are the most curious and inquisitive group of children you would ever meet. They may be young, but don't let their age fool you into thinking they're not ready to use the tools they have and apply the new ones as soon as they learn them!

Despite the hardships many have already experienced, these little wonders are ready to learn and most importantly - to take care of each other!

They put a smile on your face and a spring in your step each and every day. Please, help them develop the skills necessary for their success, for their future.

My Project

My students need new mats to nap on. My 3, 4, and 5 years old students need to and do take nap every day in my class. As you know young children need a daily nap to refresh and recharge. Sleeping is a crucial part of their development and napping during the day is a great part of it. The Calming Colors Rest Mats will replace our old and broken cots that we have had for many years. most of our cots are worn out and/or broken. My young students deserve a safe and secure place at school even during their nap time.
