My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful, and eager to learn. They have lots of energy and are thrilled to be back in the classroom. They have been at home for almost a year learning remotely and are eager to get back into the routines of school and the classroom. They are hard workers and they love to read.

The students in my class have a positive attitude.

Every child in my class is unique. They have various needs and require different strategies to keep them engaged in their learning. I use a variety of strategies for teaching curriculum, meeting social and emotional needs, and completing work in the classroom.

My Project

My students have been out of the classroom for months and they are both excited and nervous to return to in-person learning. These materials will allow me to purchase social-emotional learning materials, hands-on math activities, and more to keep my kids feeling safe, welcome, and engaged in their classroom learning experiences.

Help bring my students new activities to supplement our curriculum and provide a variety of resources to engage my unique students in their different learning styles.

With the resources, I purchase my students will be able to demonstrate their learning in a variety of different ways.
