My students are in a low-income area. Their parents work a lot in order to support them. It is difficult for parents to take time off to be in the school volunteering. These students face struggles such as lack of food and basic necessities, yet they are so resilient. I grew up in this community and faced many of the same challenges that my students face every day. I chose to teach here with the hopes of inspiring at least one child. The students at our school have so much potential!
Each year, my students love to help each other succeed, and they assist me in creating a classroom that cares!
I am in awe of the things they do to help each other daily.
The students at this school are becoming very excellent at technology and they are always teaching me new things. Our school now has 1:1 technology and the students are loving it. They are taking ownership of their learning through their data books and are reaching new heights all the time.
My Project
Our school PBIS plan includes a school currency to spend at our school store. Students earn Dog Pounds (our school currency) for our Magna Manners: 1. Care About Learning 2. Care About Others 3. Care About Yourself 4. Care About Property. We review the Magna Manners with students each time they receive a dog pound and we tell them which Magna Manner we saw them doing.
We love seeing positive behavior from our students and they love doing it to earn prizes.
This is also a great way to teach students about economics. When we run low on supply our prices have to increase. Students learn the importance of saving to earn a larger prize. Please help us restock our school store.
