My Students
Have you ever met fourth graders? Little bundles of energy! Nothing excites them more than getting to touch, see, and build their way to understanding.
As one of the top-performing charter schools in the state, our school is working daily to help our students achieve their full potential.
The students in my year-round urban charter school are 95% low income. They attend school from 8 am to 5 pm daily. The staff at our charter school works diligently within our rigorous curriculum to help education come alive!
My students struggle with issues that often fall outside the scope of understanding. From poverty to food insecurity, homelessness to incarcerated parents, they face head-on many challenges that would make adults crumble. Even with these challenges, they come to school each day trying to put their best foot forward and grow as students, in academics, and as leaders.
My Project
These kits for Guatemalan Worry Dolls, fabric pencil cases, masks, dream catchers, and more, will help my students to put their creativity to the test! As part of our clubs program, students get the opportunity to participate in hands on activities and learn new things.
With these materials, my students will not only get creative, but also practice fine motor skills, communication, and collaboration.
These projects will help my students to discuss and respond to the works around them, build their creative skill set, and learn to work together. Through these projects, students will share their views and perspectives with the world around them and with the school community.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
