My Project

At our school, we firmly believe that all children have the capacity to learn. Through this belief, we, as teachers, constantly find creative and new learning approaches to help our students be successful.

Although there are many differences in language, culture, and learning needs, my students all have more in common than not.

They love to learn, find joy in playing and have families who want to provide the best education for their children.

The love of school and learning should last well beyond preschool. Providing fun, caring, adventurous, exciting, and hands-on experiences in these critical early years will set them off on the right foot to success and continued enjoyment in learning for years to come!

The past year has been fantastic! My students have been so excited to receive items that we have had funded through DonorsChoose to use remotely at home. I can't wait to see the excitement on their faces as they explore new materials that help enhance our learning program. We are always grateful when a project gets funded!

We were so lucky to receive a Silhouette die cut machine to create classroom materials, decor, etc. We now need a work station to be able to set up our new machine and be able to use it in the classroom. We are asking for a table, lamp, and organizational drawers in order to keep the materials for the Silhouette organized and easy to access. We are also asking for a few odds and ends including post it notes and a calculator.
