My Project
I love my students because they keep me on my toes. They are amazingly creative, kind, and curious.
I feel these resources will allow them to walk in the classroom and feel relaxed, seen, and excited to begin the day to day learning journey.
A lot of the resources such as the books and bookshelves will go towards the goal of getting the students interested in reading independently and within their classroom book clubs. The differently leveled books will appeal to all learners of various abilities.
The headphones will allow students to use online reading sources without little to no distraction, giving them the ability to focus on their reading goals. Resources such as candy, snacks, and toys will be used as positive rewards when students show progress towards their goals!
I understand the value of education largely lies within the academic component, but how they feel in their classroom matters too. I want them to be excited about their classroom feel, with a large new rug, because part of a learning community is also feeling calm and safe. For many students, their classroom is their home away from home. I want it to be the best second home they can have.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
