My Project

I am teaching 10th-grade English this upcoming school year, marking my third year in the classroom. As always, I am determined to create an environment where students can thrive as readers, writers, and future leaders who will make a difference in the world. This year, my hope is to expand my classroom library, have more materials available for students to help them focus, allow students to connect with real-world situations present in various texts, and replace items in the classroom that no longer work or function properly. With your help, I will be able to provide each student with the essential items they need to succeed such as books, paper, pencils, privacy shields, and speakers.
