My Students

As a teacher in a high poverty school district, I work with students that are faced with challenges in and outside the classroom. Despite the challenges my students face, they persevere. My students are high energy, communicative, and enthusiastic learners. They have a lot of energy and are always looking for a fun way to learn. They love to get involved with the lesson in whatever way possible.

My students love to show off their work and teach their peers.

They are excited to teach each other, both in groups and in front of the class. My students are visual learners. They love to use different resources in the room to show learning strategies to their friends. The students are a great group of mathematicians, scientists, writers, ​and artists.

My Project

Every day in my class I am asked if I have a snack, unfortunately I don't always have a snack to give to the student. Having a mid day snack helps students focus until lunch.

Although it is only one or two of my students asking for a snack most days 11-13 of my 18 students do not have a snack.

My students and I selected a variety of snacks that they can choose from to help tied their hunger over until lunch. The snacks will allow any student that needs a snack regardless of dietary restricts to have a snack.
