My Students
My students are creative, clever and very spontaneous. They like to move; they love to draw, paint and sing and love lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. These things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical."
From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me.
I may not be able to control their home lives; however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I am hopeful to inspire even our earliest learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.
My Project
My students need supplies to learn how to crochet. Many students have watched family members create blankets and stuffed animals.
My students would like to try an art form that is often not taught in school.
Once a few students learn how to crochet, they will be able to teach their friends.
Crocheting takes time and patience and is often a way for students to relieve stress. Right now they need many different ways to do that. Learning how to use crochet hooks, follow a pattern, and actually create something from scratch will create a positive atmosphere in my classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
