My Project

Our population is very diverse. We have many nationalities, cultures, and abilities. My children come to school eager to learn and with a thirst for knowledge in spite of their socioeconomic hardships. Our parents do all they can to provide our children with the supplies necessary to succeed. We have an in-depth special education program, a gifted and talented program, and a dual-language program.

An elementary school classroom is like no other place in the world.

It is a home for little ones for six hours a day. Teachers not only provide education in math, reading, and other school subjects, they provide stability, love, acceptance, and support for amazing little people. Teachers educate the whole child. Personally, I strive to teach values, love, and acceptance in my classes as well.

This year, we will pilot a financial literacy program in our school. I am excited to create and introduce this program! We are starting from scratch, so I need plastic money and money posters to help teach about coins. I also need disinfectant wipes to ensure we are sharing coins - not germs!

We also need tissues, soap and wipes to keep everything germ free! Many hands touch many objects and it's important to disinfect hands, iPads, desks and more! Basics including notebooks and pencils are always needed, too!

Thank you for considering our project!
