My Students

My students come from an area where 30% of them have Individual Education Plan for a delay or an impairment and 80% of the students in my school are on free or reduced lunches.

My kids are excited to learn and eager to be engaged in whatever we do as a class.

This is an excitement that I want to encourage and maintain! They are my reason "why" I do what I do and they deserve the best education available with the best tools I can get to provide that education to them.

My students are preparing for kindergarten and they need your help to get them there successfully! With the proper tools, our thriving room can blossom to its' full potential.

My Project

My professional growth plan as a teacher this year was to increase the amount of multicultural books in my classroom that will aid in representing various races, cultures, and genders so that my students feel safe and welcome in a classroom that celebrates their own unique features. I also want to educate all of my students on the importance of diversity which is difficult to do at this young age but these books will tremendously help me accomplish that goal.

Further, these books will help me to teach my students how to handle their big little feelings in productive and effective ways!
