My Students

My students are brilliant, engaging, and hardworking 4th graders. I have the privilege of teaching these bright and interesting young people each day.

The goal in our classroom is for all students to learn while also seeing themselves as learners who are ready to take on new challenges.

Our classroom community is filled with students who are excited about learning. My school is located in a low-income area; 75% of my students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. The neighborhood is a mixture of cultures, first and second-generation immigrants as well as students and families who have called it home for generations. It is an incredible group of families, students, teachers, and community partners.

My Project

After a year of students learning at home, we are heading back to learn in-person! Having specific learning materials for each child will help us all stay healthy and organized so we can continue to learn at school.

With all the challenges we've faced this year, I'm excited to make the transition to in-person learning smooth and exciting for my students.

I would love your help purchasing individual bins for students to keep track of their materials, sticky dot decals for the floor to help guide students in our classroom and halls, and materials for students to use since they can’t share items (dry erase markers, erasers, pencils). Because students won’t have an opportunity for recess or to play shared games, having individual engagement items to encourage students to stick with their learning (chair bands, stickers)and activities students can use on breaks (Legos, Play-Doh, books, coloring pages, etc.) would be very helpful. Also durable pouches so student materials can be separated and a book holder to display new books would add a lot to our classroom! Your generosity and support means so much!
