My Students

My children are worthy! Smiles on daily, regardless of how they slept. Shoes may be on the wrong feet, but they are here and ready to eat. They are willing to learn and adore hands-on experiences. My children appreciate engaging moments and the opportunity to move while learning. They crave education at an ever-growing speed. My babies come from an area where tough love is the way to go and sometimes they come in wearing that tough love right alongside their eagerness to learn smile. I do my best to ensure they are taken care of as my job is to advocate for each of them.

I would gladly give them all the shirt off my back and I believe they know that about me.

Every day is a clean slate here. I do not hold onto the negative as life is too short and I instill that into them as well. I praise the positive and I work hard with families and staff to ensure our youth make the best choices and understand why we make them. My children are just that, my children, year after year!

My Project

This project is requesting basic, must have school supplies such as crayons, dry erase markers, pencils, and writing paper. The students will be able to use the dry erase markers on dry erase boards while learning from home. They will be able to write their response on the dry erase board and hold it up to the camera for me to see and provide feedback.

It is unbelievable that students are still in need of pencils and paper during their at home learning!

This project will benefit the children while they remotely learn to the best of their ability.
