My Students

We are a charter school in Naples, Florida with 74% of our students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The families we serve really want what is best for their kids and they trust me as their teacher to help make those decisions. The students in my classroom are very loving and caring individuals.

"It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings." -Ann Landers

My students are passionate, eccentric, beautiful, intelligent, and all-around amazing. When you look into their eyes, you know that they are eager to consume knowledge. These students appreciate each and every day that they spend in the classroom because they know that they are going to use their minds in the most creative and innovative ways possible.

My Project

Please help my class go on adventures with these wonderful books that are on their grade level.

Students need appropriate books in which to read, enjoy, and complete book reports.

We need 2 copies of each of the following book titles to start our classroom reading program; Planet Earth Is Blue, Strongheart: Wonder Dog of the Silver Screen, Caterpillar Summer, How I Became a Spy: A Mystery of WWII London and Bernice Buttman, Model Citizen. , Voyage of the Dogs, The Unicorn in the Barn, Operation Frog Effect, Power Forward, Inkling, Klawde: Evil Alien Warlord Cat, and Dragons in a Bag.
