My Students

My students are from a large, urban community that welcomes families from all over the globe.

My students bring a special blend of linguistic diversity, background knowledge, prior experiences, and culture to our school.

We are a Title I school in a low-income community.

Free breakfast and free lunch are available to every child in our building each day, and these are now remotely served.

I have twenty-nine students in my class.

I went to this district for my whole education, have raised and educated my children in this city, and have taught here my whole career.

My students are very enthusiastic about learning. We provide specific academic support to students to meet their specific needs so they can reach their personal potential. My class is made up of diverse needs and levels. They would benefit from a variety of classroom resources to help increase their success in our newly established distance remote learning platform. My students have been learning at home as the school was closed due to the COVID-19 virus for the rest of the school year. This presents a challenge as most of my students do not have access to supplies in their homes.

My Project

For the first time since last March we are getting ready for Hybrid learning. I will be teaching both the children in my classroom and the children at home at the same time. A desk and a stool that I can push a button and it can go from a sitting desk (helping those at home) to a standing desk. This way both the children at home and in front of me can see the same things at the same time without me having to stop teaching to reajust the monitors so everyone can see the materials.
