My Project

I love that my students are super sweet kids. Unfortunately most of them don’t have great home lives and find it hard to trust. I want to be the teacher they feel like they can talk to and whose classroom is comfortable and engaging.

My school is a Title 1 school so funds can be difficult.

I’ve put a lot of my personal money into my classroom as a first-year teacher and would love to show my students that others care about them just like I do. Please help me in making my classroom great for my students. We need posters, chips and sprout kits to make learning fun.
