My Students

I strive daily to have an engaging classroom that keeps my students involved and excited to learn. I am at a great school with a variety of demographics of families, although the majority are from low-income families. We are a Title I school, and, although we have resources, it just never seems to be enough.

When I send home homework, maybe only two or three students return their work.

They explain they don't have pencils, glue, or scissors to be able to complete the assignments. Or oftentimes, they'll say their siblings destroyed their homework. They have to take care of their siblings, stay with a caretaker until late hours in the evening, or just are not encouraged to work on their academics.

When coming to school, many students look forward to the consistency, love, and care they get while learning each day. The students love to engage with each other, even if it's while learning. They thrive but also need breaks throughout the day to keep their minds focused. As the year continues, I'll continue to learn each of their needs, their ways of learning, and what benefits them to help excel in their learning.

My Project

During this pandemic it has been quite difficult for not just the students, but the teachers as well. Daily, we work on making gains and growing their little minds that we forget the creative side of education. We forget that art teaches us fine motor and cognitive skills. Art teaches us how to blend colors and simply a way to have an outlet and be creative.

With this project, I plan on giving my students an outlet to escape from everyday studies.

With the state test quickly approaching, students are stretched to the max with learning. My students will have a chance to enjoy being creative without stressing over making the grade, instead making something beautiful. Help me help my students to keep Calm and Craft on!
