My Students

There are so many words that I can use to describe the unique bunch of rock stars I am privileged to spend seven hours of my day with, but I will keep it short and simple. I teach 1st grade. The students in my class all have different learning styles along with unique behavioral identities.

My school is on the Southside of Chicago in the historical Bronzeville neighborhood.

Part of this neighborhood is going through a Chicago neighborhood renewal process while the other half is still of low income and at times dangerous surroundings. The majority of my kiddos are from the low-income half. However, they come to school with excitement, ambition, and eagerness to learn and better themselves. I ask my students every day what is their purpose for coming to school today. At first, they didn't have the tools to answer this question, but now (due to modeling to them how to build a purpose for learning and school), they proudly say, "to learn and become a better learner." So as their teacher, it is my job and passion to help them experience every opportunity, reach every goal, and pass every test presented.

My Project

Our class is in need of a classroom printer. We have a school printer, however, it is always broke. Sometimes I am not able to make copies of their homework and classroom assignments. Have our own classroom printer will help me quickly and sufficiently print up assignments with out it getting jam and wasting so much paper. I will be able to use this printer to do projects, print classwork, and other materials I may need to send home with them. So please donate to our class printer project. Thanks!
