My Students

My students are amazing! They work so hard to learn and practice their first grade skills and goals. They are a determined, resilient, enthusiastic class of kids and are so appreciative of any resources they have in the classroom to help them learn. Our school is a Title I school; many of our students may not have resources at home to help them achieve at school. Any classroom supplies are so helpful to my students to help them feel supported, encouraged and able to achieve their goals. Thank you so much!

My Project

I teach 20 wonderful students who all want to be successful. They are hard-working, enthusiastic and kind. They work hard to take care of themselves and each other. They come in each day ready to learn and achieve.

Many of my students need additional and diverse supports to take advantage of learning opportunities in the classroom.

They all want to succeed, but need varied and different tools and supports to do so. The items in my project will help support my students in being able to take on every opportunity given to them and in turn help them become confident, successful and unstoppable 1st graders!
