My Students

I teach in a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast, lunch and after-school snack. We promote a positive school and learning environment through PBIS and our school community challenges students to think and perform at high levels and exhibit positive character values.

My students are all so eager to learn and willing to work hard!

I teach reading and math to 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. I love helping students succeed and it's rewarding to know I'm helping children become fluent readers and more confident with their math skills.

My Project

My two educational assistants and I all desired whiteboard tables and flexible seating for our students to sit at/on when we work with them. Last school year, I received my first table and stools, and the students absolutely love it all! At the beginning of this school year I will receive my 2nd table and set of stools!

Now I'm hoping to get our 3rd and final table with a set of wobble stools!

It'll be exciting when all three of us have our special sets of furniture. At last, ALL of my students will benefit from using the tables and there will be enough wobble stools for all!
