“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid.” -Albert Einstein
I want my classroom to be a space where all students have a chance to succeed.
In order to create this environment, I must be aware of the many differences that affect student learning. I believe that each and every one of my students are unique. No two students I encounter will be exactly the same. Things such as culture, language, ability, and environment can all lead to learning differences. Diverse students bring diverse thinking and learning styles.It would be ignorant for a teacher to believe that a class full of twenty-five different students is all going to learn the same. (And, in my opinion, a class full of twenty-five students who learn the same should be a teacher’s worst nightmare!) If I believe that each and every one of my students has something to teach me, then I should view learner diversity as a blessing- twenty five unique students means twenty five unique lessons! I feel confident that each student who walks into my classroom has the potential to pass.
My Project
Please help me fund books bins for my students to help me organize my classroom library. As of now, all my books are not leveled. A lot of my books are stacked on the floor as I have no place to put them in. I would like to organize my library to make it easier for students to find books and make my library a place for my students to enjoy reading.
I would also like to use the book bins to put supplies in it that they will need to work on a group project/task.
Such as highlighters, post-it notes, mini anchor charts, dictionaries, and graphic organizers, and math counters, cards, blocks, and etc.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
