My Project

My request helps keep our classroom clean students like to come in and clean their working area. My students like the responsibility of coming in and having a task to keep their learning environment clean and smelling good. My goals for this project is to also provide an incentive as a snack when they complete their work and remain on task during instruction. Some of my students come to school hungry or hungry after lunch and need a recharge during the day. Having a snack during the day they work towards completing assignments helps them work twice as hard as in learning in the classroom. My students are special because they want to learn but have a hard time communicating their needs. I try to teach them that I don;t know how to help if you can't tell what you need to succeed.My students says sometimes the environment is not clean enough and that sometimes they are hungry, What better way to teach them about daily life expectations than having daily task of cleaning their work space and giving them something to work towards. Students love having goals, expectations in their learning. My students are happy when they see their improvements in their learning when they see their grades. My students are happy when they can come to class and learn. When I receive supplies or snacks from donors Choose they know it's for them. My job is to help them learn and anyway possible I will advocate for them to learn. My students feel that people don't listen to them our their voices are not heard because they are older and people don't take time to get to know them. Please help my students with this project as we close the year out. My students and I thank you!
