My Project

The past 25 years as a teacher have been a wonderful adventure and journey. I have always tried to provide the best materials and learning environment for my students.

Currently, I am teaching 2nd grade, navigating the aftermath of COVID-19, and relocating the classroom, which presents numerous challenges.

The wear, tear, and loss of supplies have significantly affected the learning environment. To enhance the classroom experience for our second-grade students, we urgently need resources like headphones for personal computing lessons, chair pocket packs for organization, and other interactive tools. Your support in overcoming these hurdles is genuinely appreciated, making a positive impact on our students' education.
