My Students

I come from a small town, rural school district with a variety of amazing students. I have multiple higher level thinkers who would benefit from some wonderful, hands-on instructional materials. I also have many students who need the opportunity to move and shake their day away.

My students benefit from flexible seating opportunities, STEM activities, and plenty of technologically advanced, personalized instruction.

I also have multiple special education, emotional behavioral and ADD/ADHD students who benefit from differentiated instruction.

Thank you for taking the ​time to consider donating to my classroom! We all appreciate your generosity!

My Project

Non-Fiction reading opportunities will give my students am opportunity to let their sponge-like brains absorb these amazing readings. In addition to non-fiction, these reading collections include award-winning books, classics and magazine subscriptions. Who doesn't love receiving new reading material every month? My students would love the opportunity to read these science and math based magazines each month. Math based? Yes, math based magazines are cool too! Thank you for considering donating to my classroom library and providing my readers with a variety of reading choices. As a newer teacher, my library still needs some beefing up, and your donation will help to do just that.
