My Students

My first graders have been in school for three months now. They are excited about coming to school everyday and seeing their friends. They have been working hard on their academics and are making tremendous progress. The pandemic continues to pose challenges, but the students continue to work harder than ever.

My Project

It's that time of the year again! My students are getting excited about the upcoming holiday! It seems to be all they can focus on these days! It would be great to be able to help put a smile on their faces, giving them something that will guarantee to have them spinning about!

Many families have endured rough times due to the pandemic and a few small Christmas gifts will be a great way to help bring some cheer to my students during the Holiday break.

To begin, we will need paint to decorate the ornaments that I purchased for them to hang anywhere in their home. My students like to color, so the coloring books would definitely keep them busy as well. The spinning tops are just a bonus, and will have them spinning for days!
