My Students

I am currently the 3rd grade English Language Arts teacher for 48 students in a Title I school. Every year I am blessed with a new group of enthusiastic learners. They are eager to learn and experience new things daily. Every year they are learning how to take on more of the responsibility of their learning environment.

My current students are a curious group that enjoys learning new things daily.

Of those 48 students, 5 receive resource services and speech. More than 70% of the students receive free or reduced lunches. They are hard workers with a positive attitude and do their personal best to contribute to our classroom community. They take pride in their classroom and tidy it up at the end of each day.

My Project

Winter is fast approaching in New England and soon the children will not be able to go outdoors. They will be having indoor recess and with the pandemic they need to be in their seats.

In from the cold!!

We would like to create some activities boxes that have a variety of supplies to help with creativity. The list includes, string, beads, glue, origami paper and more. Choice is of the utmost importance for these 8 year-olds. Please help me to put these creative art supplies into the hands of these students.
