My Students

My 5th-grade students attend a public school in New York and are in an ICT classroom. All of my students are eager to learn! However, some of my students have special needs and need a lot of support to achieve their learning goals. They are eager to learn and are all capable of learning. I hope to motivate my students to be excited about learning and surround them with a supportive, engaging, and safe learning environment.

Our vision is to create a classroom that fosters independence, growth, and engagement!

My Project

My 5th graders are immersed in reading and writing every day. One of the most BASIC needs of young writers is the tools to write! We need erasable pens, markers, laminating sheets, magnets, and pen holders to help create charts and notes, and to help revise & edit, organize, and plan our writing. Laminating sheets are crucial for their tool kits. Papers are constantly getting lost or ripped. Laminating sheets will allow us to laminate the important resources we provide our students to help them access this very rigorous curriculum. Today, 5th graders are expected to annotate complex texts, write different kinds of essays, write news reports and stories! The level of their writing is going to be pushed this year as we prepare them for middle school. In order to feel empowered,​ they need the necessary tools to make writing feel fun and easy!

Most of my students truly enjoy writing and love giving each other feedback to improve- we need your help for ALL of our students to feel empowered to write!

We use the TAG protocol to help empower and motivate each other to have a growth mindset to do our absolute best! We need your help to get the basic tools in the hands of each child to give them the necessary supplies needed to succeed in writing class!
