My Project

I have the pleasure of teaching an amazing group of students! They range in diversity and ability, some of whom are autistic and many who receive special education services. We are a Title I school, and all of my students are from low-income households, so they all receive free breakfast and lunch every day.

Though their backgrounds have offered them little advantage, my students love learning, and they work very hard each day.

I try to make their classroom a place where learning is fun. This year, we have a new ELA curriculum with integrated subjects, and they are currently researching frogs and publishing a collection of written works that include narratives, informative pieces, and poems. A similar unit on government is forthcoming, followed by plants, space, and safety. It's a lot of reading, writing, and publishing! With this project, I'm requesting a spiral binding machine (as well as spirals and covers) so my students can publish their hard work in a way they can be proud of. With some books to inspire, some fancy pens, and a little air freshener, our publishing center will be complete.

Thanks so very much for considering supporting this project! I appreciate you!
