I teach 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts at an awesome school in West Philadelphia. All of my students have big dreams. I try my hardest to create a classroom environment that supports my students' dreams, fosters self-love and mutual respect, pushes them to persevere when academics get hard, and teaches them to think critically about our world!
Even though my students come to me from a variety of challenging home environments, many of them still come to school full of life and ready to learn everyday.
I teach at a Title I school where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. My students family income, gender, and race should not keep them from having access to the best education possible! I have created this page in hopes to try to level the playing field by providing my students with more opportunities to succeed both academically and socially.
My Project
Since we are starting the year remotely, I would like to give my students a kit to help them start the year off right. I have a class set of novels but not enough to send one home with each student. Thus, I hope to raise enough money to give each student a novel to read for our first unit! I will pack the novels in remote learning kits, and I want to put book tape on our novels so that they last while at home with students. I also want to give them some post-it notes for annotating, a bookmark, some lifesavers, and a few pencils with a personalized note. Thank you for supporting my students!
