I teach 7th-grade students who are smart, funny, caring and lively. These students are going through a time in life where they crave autonomy and relationships. Because of this, students work together to create their own ways of learning.
My students bring unique qualities to the classroom because of their diverse backgrounds.
My students come from many different socioeconomic backgrounds and neighborhoods. This is the best part about my students. We learn from each other each day, while we are building relationships with each other. We are learning to appreciate the different ways that each of us learns, we want that effort to continue.
My Project
As part of our classroom notebooks, the kids keep their materials in one place. While it could be a boring notebook, we like to add color to help us remember different things.
Coloring our illustrations gives us a visual reminder of what we are learning and it makes us think just a bit deeper.
Our classroom colored pencils are in high demand and they are always one of the first things to run out during the year. We need to restock them so that we can continue to have brightly colored illustrations and visuals in our notebooks all year. The pencil sharpeners are important because our regular classroom sharpener does not work well with the colored pencils, so we need to have a specific one just for our colored pencils.
