My Project

What I love about my students is their engagement, focus, relevance, and a desire to learn. The students I work with are very unique and awesome in their own way. My students have bought the youth out in me.

My materials such as math posters and black history posters will make a difference in the learning by helping the student stay focused and give me the opportunity to teach with better materials.

Most students are visual learners.

Again, I am new with PPS district, and would like to make my space in my classroom as comfortable and friendly as possible for all students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
