My Students

The students who walk through our doors will always be mine. My belief is grounded in the idea that each and every learner brings their own brand of genius to the classroom. Our most important job as educators is to discover that genius and instill that mindset in our students. Empowering educators to thrive at their highest potential is what fuels me each and every day.

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela.

I work with all students in the building as a collaborative support teacher and I am delighted to teach side-by-side with world-class educators who show up every day for kids. My students come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, a majority are considered low-income, and a high percentage are English Language Learners.

My Project

I am requesting materials for Writer's Workshop for first and third grade students.

I am working with students who are one to three years behind in their basic reading and writing skills.

I am working tirelessly with students for up to 90 minutes a day on basic reading and writing skills. Students need a place to store their materials and papers, such as folders. Students also need pens, pencils and basic materials for writing. Students having ownership in keeping materials that they are working on will be powerful.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your willingness to give to my most deserving students.
