My Students
My students come from an urban area with diverse backgrounds, so they are facing the challenge of learning English as well as maintaining their home language. This can be frustrating for anyone, so it is highly important that they are afforded a classroom environment that promotes their learning and well being.
They are enthusiastic, ambitious, and motivated learners.
I wish for each one of my students to have the opportunities that they so rightfully deserve in an environment that provides ample and worthwhile learning experiences.
My Project
It's astonishing how a hurricane named Maria affected so many lives in Puerto Rico. There are a number of students at my school that have made their way northeast with their families because they lost everything. I have to make sure as an educator and as a human being that I do my part to help them. I can only imagine what they feel, and I just want to make the school transition a bit easier for the children and their families.
One person can make a difference, and I know that I can be that person.
School supplies are a necessity in any classroom. I have requested supplies that the students need to use on a daily basis in class and at home. The dry erase markers will be used during independent, small group and large group activities. I have also requested number stamps and alphabet stamps, so that they can practice identifying the numbers and letters in English. The pencils and notebooks will be used for classwork and homework on an ongoing basis. The backpacks are for the children to store their supplies and belongings. The cost of supplies can add up, and I want to provide them with the necessary supplies, so it's one less thing for them to have to worry about. It is important that they receive the support and encouragement from their new school family and community.
