My Students

My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who is the best class in the whole world?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.

I teach at a low-income/high poverty school district where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.

Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.

My Project

The writing center should be a fun time for students to make choices about how they will spend their writing time; however, right now it is a disorganized mess! You can improve our writing center by helping us get a magnetic board supply caddy and a tabletop writing center organizer to help us organize and to bring order and fun back to our writing.

Our classroom writing area needs to be organized and full of supplies to support learning!

With your donation, our writing center will get a magnetic board supply caddy and a tabletop writing center organizer. Help make that a reality for my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ESL students by donating to our classroom writing center!
