My Students

My students are from different parts of the Tampa Bay area. They are a diverse set of students. Most are energetic, creative, and eager-to-learn. Every day they arrive before most people are even in the car on the way to work. They love working with partners and in groups. I want my classroom to enable them to be ready for the real world.

Some students have been diagnosed with ADHD and other learning disabilities.

I want to make sure all students have supports to help them achieve the very best.

Students will often tell me that the classroom is different and is the only classroom they wish they could stay in all day.

Students are happy with their school and teachers. Each day they learn something new and come back the next day ready to learn more.

My Project

I want my students to have access to basic school supplies to help them study for their exams and complete classwork.

Help give my students access to binders, flashcards, pencils, and markers to review content they learn in my classroom.

Students in Florida are required to take a Civic's class which teaches basic government functions and law of our nation. This is the first class that students will encounter that requires an end of course exam. The exam covers all the student's learning from the entire school year. There are 35 state standards on this exam. For many students this is a great challenge. I just want to see my students do the best they can and have access to student supplies that will help make this happen.
