My Students

My students are a wonderful group of children who strive to do their very best! They are very helpful, hardworking, caring, and loving individuals. They come to school every day ready to learn. My students love technology! They love when they have the opportunity to use the Chromebooks and computers. As children of the 21st-century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions.

They absolutely love engaging in assignments and activities that are hands-on, challenging, and fun. They come to school each day ready to be successful. I am very proud of each and every one of my students!

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students would help finish the school year strong. I teach two classes of students and many times there are not enough pencils and support materials for each student to use. Our supplies running very low and we would like your help in replenishing the needed supplies.

The paper, pencils, markers, and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so that they may create books, do book reports, design projects, and do other educational activities in the classroom.

Also, the most important supplies are just needed for students to get work done on a daily basis. The chart paper will be used to create anchor charts that reflect the discussions we have during our lessons. All the supplies and resources you help support will be so greatly appreciated! We just need your support in getting everything to our door!
