My Students

I teach at a diverse urban public school in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. The students at my school are goofy, kind, curious, and eager to learn new things. Our school and neighborhood are extremely diverse both economically and racially.

My first grade students are not only exciting to be around, but they are also some of the most caring, hardworking, and curious first graders who bring their open-mindedness into the classroom each and every day!

As their teacher, I strive every day to motivate my students to achieve their highest potential through reading, writing, math, science, music, and exploration!

My Project

This project will bring folders to my classroom, clear plastic paper protectors for their reading logs each night, and color + black into to print their beginning of the year pictures and choice time cards!

This project will bring new materials to the new students in my classroom as well as make them feel welcome and safe--providing them with folders, pencil pouches to design themselves, number lines to support them in math, and sheet protectors for their daily reading logs.

Thank you so much for supporting public school classrooms like ours!
