My Students

Our students are scholars. They are provided a safe space to take risks, be vulnerable, and develop a sense of childhood curiosity and wonder.

They are thirsty for knowledge, eager to please, and desperately want to be better at "school”.

We have worked so very hard to cultivate a strong culture of learning that I can honestly say that their drive for success is inspirational. They have endless energy and enormous hearts!

Our scholars are innocent, kindred spirits who deserve so much more than what our society has given them. For many of our students, their future relies solely on their experiences in our school. Regardless of the unthinkable barriers that our scholars experience outside of our four walls, they know that our belief in them will never waver.

My Project

Students enter our classrooms at all different reading levels, with all different preferred learning styles. As educators, we are tasked with meeting every student where they are at in a way that is engaging and meaningful to them. These resources will equip me to better be able to do that!

VersaTiles help students to build literacy proficiency in a challenging, rewarding way during independent practice, small groups, rotations, centers, and stations.

This will be extremely helpful in the upcoming year as I work with small groups of students on intervention instruction, closing the gap between their current achievement performance and grade level expectations.

With your support, we can give all WES Scholars the support they need to achieve their goals!
