We Work and Play Hard!

My Project

Teaching in a low-income district, I want my students to be able to have the necessary tools, not only to learn, but to engage in social emotional activities.

After teaching in this district for 26 years, I understand the importance of connecting with my students and making sure they perform at their highest ability.

Everything I requested will not only engage them in specific learning, but will help us become and continue to be a family throughout this school year.

From the special seats, to the interactive games, and preserving their work through lamination, will provide everyone in my classroom, a sense of pride and equity.

I’ve already spent several hundreds of dollars for this upcoming school year, so this will help tremendously as I start a new year with my second graders.

Thank you so much!
