I work in a high-poverty school, so at the beginning of the day I make sure all basic needs are met. I check that my students have eaten breakfast and are properly dressed before I start teaching.
I greet my students with a handshake and a grin each morning.
They come in, and we quickly get to work. They love to move while they work. Reading takes place all over the room. They love using technology to read and learn. They are happy and enthusiastic kids, and I love that I get to help mold and prepare them for their future.
My Project
I am asking for several different items for my students. The books are on level books which will help increase their confidence while reading. I send these types of books home with my students so they "good fit" books to read at home. The button maker will be used to create math facts buttons to reward the students for passing their math facts paper.
Affirming my students for their good behaviors help promote positive mindsets and build confidence.
The buttons, coins, cards, and bracelets will be used as rewards. The book about the power of yet will help encourage them to be and do their best daily.
The pens, markers dry erase markers, colored pencils and lcd tablets will be used to practice spelling words, sentence structure, and math facts.
Using several different teaching methods allows me to teach all my students in their learning style. I use hands on learning daily. The number lines help them to visually see the numbers getting bigger or smaller when they add and subtract.
With the effects of lack of instruction due to not being in school, growth mindset and different learning techniques are even more important.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
