My Students

My scholars are amazing and full of drive. Early last spring, schools were shut down because of COVID-19. This virus left many of our parents feeling unsure as to how they could support their children.

As an educator, it is important that I find ways to educate the scholars that I teach daily.

Although COVID-19 has wrecked life as we know it, I believe that it is still my responsibility to advocate for my scholars. I am still unsure of what the future of our schools will look like in classrooms around the world. However whether we will be in the classroom or online, my scholars will need school supplies to help them continue their learning. Please help me purchase some supplies for my scholars.

My Project

Many of my students and their families are extremely anxious about going back to school. I want to ensure that my students come back to a classroom that is both warm and welcoming. Many students haven't seen a classroom in more than a year so I would like to give them a freshly decorated classroom where they can feel more than welcomed.

With these materials I know that my scholars will be so excited to learn more about various places around the world.

. plan on teaching scholars about the world around them and how they can BE apart of it as well. In social studies students explore various places around them. Students will be able to use these materials so that they can further explore places around them. For some of the activities done in the classroom students would need headphones so that they can work independently.

Thank you!
