My Students

My students all live within the Philadelphia city limits with 60%-70% of my students being considered Title I, designating their families as low income. Students choose to attend our school as we are an arts and sciences school integrating these areas into all of our core academic subjects.

My students are not defined by their family finances but rather by an innate curiosity and desire to grow academically and as a performer or budding Scientist.

They desire to be engaged in a learning experience instead of simply being told information.

My Project

In order for students to excel and for a teacher to teach, a classroom needs supplies. The list of supplies may look random as many of the items are just a part of something larger to allow for student exploration and creativity.

Several of the items listed, including cookies, chips, candy, and the squish toys are for student rewards in my positive behavior classroom support plan.

In addition to an individual positive behavior support plan, the entire class is also given class points when the expectations are followed. Upon reaching a certain number of points, the entire class is rewarded with a special activity; some of the items listed are for this purpose like the pony beads, bracelet string, and the key rings.

In addition to class rewards, many of the items are related to improving the functionality of the classroom space like the cube organizer, earbuds, laminator, as well as for the purpose of furthering exploration like the magnet tiles, magnet ones, refrigerator magnets, and other small supplies.
