My Students
My learners are passionate and eager to learn about the world around them through personalized learning. Our classroom is designed to meet the needs of all learners through differentiated small group instruction, learning from others, technology driven, learner choice, goal setting, and assessment.
My learners are independent, who know how to self-advocate for their learning.
At GES, we strive to meet the needs of all children so that they can become responsible, productive citizens. We are located on the northwest side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Go Bulldogs!
We work together to create and accomplish short and long-term learning goals throughout the school year. I can't express how much I love working with my students. They are simply wonderful individuals.
My Project
It becomes difficult to run a classroom when you need more pencils to ensure your students can do their work. Yep, that's right I am just asking for pencils and 2 sharpeners. This will ensure that my students will have enough pencils to get through the school year.
Personally, I wish I could be doing a project that entails bigger and better things for our classroom, however it's really about needing the basic materials to function on a daily basis.
An electronic sharpener just last longer and works faster. Your support and donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my project.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
