The students I teach come from an area that, over the years has been a high poverty, high crime area. It is my goal to change that stigma and help give them the best of every opportunity that I can whether it be by providing basics, or new opportunities.
The students I teach are eager to learn, and soak up new information like sponges.
All 20 of them keep me on my toes at all parts of the day. I wouldn't trade my time with them for anything! They are busy and active learners, and this project will help them be more active in a strategic way while increasing brain function at the same time.
My Project
This year I plan to add a cafe table, a new carpet, and some new "fairy lights" to work on my classroom environment. Other lights I have had for 5 years have seen better days and need to be replaced. Last year I couldn't offer enough cozy areas to work in, so a new carpet will do that.
In addition to the above items, we will need cafe stools to go with our high top table where students can choose to work, as well as confer with me about work.
We also need one new floor lamp to offer bright, yet soft lighting to warm up our areas.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
