Most of my students come from low income homes, who do not have access to resources outside the classroom. Each student could tell a different story that you wouldn't believe is true if you hadn't heard it with your own ears. Half of my students have a learning disability or have failed the state testing. We are building their confidence in reading, math, language and writing. My students are excited to get started in their new experiences and build their knowledge. My Project My goal is to build a classroom that is rich in conversation, collaboration, and success. From a morning greeting as my students walk in the door, to shared readings, poems, stories, and math activities, two new tables will allow all of my students to engage equally with new academic content. These tables will allow me to work individually or as a group. I can have the assistant at one table and I am at another table. Rather than trying to pull desks together we will be closely working with each other. With two tables, my students will be able to come up and share their ideas, discover new information, and add on or ask questions of their classmates. This project will have a lasting impact on my students' identities as learners. When they are able to read, write, and share their own ideas, they will actively grow into their own scholarly identities. With these tables, I will be able to develop lessons that are engaging and relevant to my students. The materials and curriculum will become a part of our shared space!!!
