My Students

My students are the absolute best. They are the most curious and fearless children I've ever met. They are truly excited to grow their brains! They are all unique in their own way. My students come from all different walks of life. Some of them have experienced more turmoil than I have as an adult. Some are still learning to trust. These are the best bunch of kids!

My Project

This project will be an awesome addition to our classroom learning. Hands-on learning allows students to participate in class. These additional resources will help reach all of our scholars. Hands-on learning allows us to close more gaps than ever! The Hot Dots Jr, Phonemic Awareness games, Power pen and addition games will allow for our scholars to have more enrichment than ever! These additional resources will allow us to drive instruction even more. These resources will also allow us to reach our most intensive scholars. These materials will allow for hands on activities for intervention students. Giving scholars an additional resource to our CKLA curriculum to give additional practice with sounds and letters, cvc and cvce words. This will allow us to bridge the gap with our most intensive students. All of our students will be allowed to take some of these resources home! Please donate to our Teacher supplies list to help with ink pens!
