My Students

My average day in the classroom begins when I welcome my eighth-grade students, including regular, special, and emotional needs children, into our class. I want my students to succeed. My students like to participate in the school drama club, which is why I sponsor this activity. I teach in a large, diverse, K-8 high poverty school in an urban area of Philadelphia that experiences crime. Our school receives Title I funding, and the entire school is eligible for free breakfast and lunch. The students come to school eager to learn from various living situations such as single parents, foster homes, homeless shelters, or extended family living.

My students are the most eccentric, funny, and smart kids you would ever want to meet.

Our skill levels and overall level of support vary by student. Some of my students require additional academic support, and some require additional emotional support. One thing that is universal is our desire to work together.

On the first day of school, we identify ourselves as "a family." A family takes care of one another and looks out for one another. This is what we do. We work together to accomplish our goals.

My Project

My students need some basic classroom supplies to help us get started in the new calendar year. The supplies requested such as pencils, tape and markers will get us restarted in the new year with a fresh supply to move us towards June. While some of the other tools such as a clipboard organizer, desk calendar and dividers will help us organize and plan for activities in the classroom.

These supplies are imperative for my students to continue being successful in the classroom.

Basic necessities such as tissues are something we cannot take for granted. As the students catch winter colds, and seasonal allergies to come later, we go through more tissues than you could imagine.

These supplies will be most helpful in continuing along our path towards success.
