My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful, and full of questions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration! We are practicing learning our letters, letter recognition and letter sounds. We are hoping to have activities for our classroom that allows us to learn.

Our school is nestled in the City of Boston.

Our students come from very diverse backgrounds. Many of my students are English Language Learners.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

This project was created to help eliminate clutter and disorganization in my classroom. Currently I am using shared coat hooks in a small closet to keep students’ personal belongings organized. They deserve to have more space.

If my class were to receive these lockers the students would have their own space to keep their belongings, which would help things be more sanitary and organized.

When students are in an organized classroom and they aren't worried about their personal belongings, they will be more likely to focus on the lessons being taught.
