My Students

My students are a diverse group of students from the East NY section of Brooklyn growing up in low income families. Many of our students come from local shelters and need extra LOVE and care support at school. My students are creative, thoughtful innovative and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Every child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, and my students are becoming enthusiastic learners.

In the classroom we incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are!

They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

Remote learning provides an opportunity for students and teachers to remain connected and engaged with the content while working from their homes. In March of 2020 we made a quick transition from in person learning to online learning. Many students will attend school in-person this fall, but not for the full five-day week. Our school is choosing to offer hybrid learning which is a mixture of in-person and online instruction.

My goal is to make this the best learning experience for all my students in person and at home.Teacher Pay Teachers, is a resource that would provide me wealth of resources to support the instructional endeavors necessary to meet the societal changes we have experienced with COVID-19.

I am dedicated to the profession and to my students.

The resources that I will provide for my students will help bridge the gap between the months when they were in school versus when they were out. It is my goal to reinforce the skills missed during the end of last school year while teaching grade level content. I will be able to provide my students with digital assessments, digital activities for the curriculum, project based learning activities, build their social emotional skills, and virtual learning games.

By donating to this project you will support the learning of students while at home and in school.
