My Students

I teach 4th grade at a Title I school that is located in South Louisiana. I have wonderful students in my class who love to learn. My school is very dynamic and all of our teachers work together to make one-on-one and tactile learning possible for our students.

My class is in desperate need of pencils, crayons, markers, wide-ruled notebook paper, copy paper, notebooks, erasers, a podium, and construction paper.

These children love school and they love learning, it makes teaching them a privilege instead of a job. I buy all of our Kleenex, paper towels, writing journals, and folders. I also buy baby wipes for the children to wipe their faces after P.E and recess to refresh them.

My Project

My students have dreams of college and understand that an education is their way to success. I strive to build relationships with my parents so they know that I will mentor their children throughout their lives, not just in 4th grade. I love my students and it is important to me that they succeed not only in 4th grade, but in life.

In the last 4 years I have spent over $3000 of my own money buying uniforms, shoes, eyeglasses, and other things that my students need.

I try to care for each child as I would my own children. This grant would go far in helping the children learn.
