Whew! I just finished my 24th year of teaching. I come from a family of teachers. My mom, dad, and three of my five children are teachers, not to mention my two daughters-in-law! One of my sons even teaches a Financial Literacy Class at our Jr. High. I am an ATPE teacher from East Texas. Teaching is a very rewarding job, one of the best in the world. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to serve as a teacher.
We are a family at BES!
This year I have 13 girls and 8 boys in my class. This includes 2 special needs students. My students come from a socioeconomicly disadvantaged district. Many of my students receive free breakfast and lunch - it is a luxury. Some, even receive food “backpacks” for the weekends. We also have a growing Hispanic population. But we are proud to say, through hard work and lots of care, our district has had a 100% graduation rate.
My students feel loved. Tolerance and acceptance is something that is fostered everyday. We live in a small rural community and continue to support former students through school activities such as sports, band and other district activities.
My Project
We are trying to get our classroom started off right. We need storage tubs for our books. Our books are rotated regularly and need to be kept nice. We also need crates for creating flexible storage and seating. Scissors, pens, and markers are going to be so useful.
New school supplies will help get us new school year ready!
We will use these materials to aide us in our daily instruction. These materials will make it easier for me to keep students on track and excited to learn. Please help our class if you can! Thank you in advance for your help!
More than half of students from low‑income households
