My Students

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."—Confucius

My students are cheerful, full of spirit, and jolly.

I teach four- to eight-year-old students with ranging disabilities from autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. They love to touch, play, paint, create, invent, and experiment. They have varied imaginations—creative ones!

"Every child is a different kind of flower. All together, they make this world a beautiful garden."—Anonymous

They love spending time together drawing, coloring, and building. The joy in their eyes when bringing something new to the table is priceless.

My Project

The requested materials of backpacks and school uniforms will be sent home to my students a week before the new school year resumes.

My students have accomplished a lot despite the unprecedented circumstance this year.

To reward them, I would like to send new school uniforms and backpacks home to start their new adventures next school year. Moreover, the sanitizing wipes and spray will help our students stay safe and sanitary as they enter our classroom premises next school year.

The new school uniform and backpack will surely boost their confidence and motivation to continue to do their best. We do not know what the future holds, but we do know, that our students, hold our future.
